Searching for webs

I found my second Long tailed Tits nest last evening. That's two from four or five nesting pairs of birds that I know of on the Carr and hopefully this one may be a bit easier to record for the NRS.
Both nests are well formed and getting near to being closed up and lined.

Nearby the birds are on a constant search for nest material, probably cobwebs being the main target to bind the moss and lichen together.

There's quite a bit of chatter between the birds turning to phish, phish if you get too close and on one occassion, high pitched chattering alarm as a Sparrowhawk flew by. Always need to keep a wary red eye out for these hunters round here as they fly up the roads and ditches in search of an off guard bird.

Plenty of bees and butterflies after the last few days fine weather. Many pairs of Tortoiseshells battling away these two showing some variation in colour tone and size.

  1. The word “gimmick” can be thrown around to describe a major element of a film that changes up the ordinary tropes we’d expect from a rather straightforward flick. There is 3D, timeline splicing, animation, found footage, you name it. Some films almost even fall into these places as a genre. When they do, you get the inkling that the people responsible for thinking up the movie likely have these elements in mind at the forefront with the story as an afterthought. > Reviews Searching Only when that occurs do I call those elements gimmicky. And it’s not that a gimmick is a bad thing, but if that is what you rely on to make your story compelling, it will often become a crutch for poor storytelling or one-and-done enjoyment. Sometimes it is done right, in which case the gimmick works… but most of the time it has that negative connotation for good reason.
