Meet the Neighbours

We've had a week of frenzied feeding but today, in the pouring rain, we have viewings of our late babies just outside the window of the Eyrie.  They are quite noisy too.  The blurred bits are raindrops on the glass.

All the other nests seem to have flown without us seeing.  We did have a tree full of very insistent little Gold Finches on Friday and it was Green Finches galore last week.  I just hope they are all doing fine in this rather damp weather.

Friday I dyed fabrics and threads and yesterday I ironed.

Most of these are still quite pale.  I was after earthy and crystalline, well I had the crystalline ok, just missing a bit of the depth.  It is only the second time I've used Procion MX though so I'm still learning.  Next time I will be trying stronger baths for more even colour.  It's not as though you can ever have too many colours even if they're not quite what you expected!!
