Our daily photos are usually a pretty good representation of what goes on in our life throughout the month, but for the things they don't show see below...

Loving

My pets extra hard.

Hating
Modern cars and their fragility!

Feeling

Excited for the month ahead (30 Days Wild)!

Thinking
About birds mainly haha. I've always been into bird watching, for a good many years, but in the last few weeks I've been glued to my living room window watching the fledglings, the Mammy and Daddy birds feeding their babies, keeping an eye on another somewhat injured pigeon and just generally enjoying watching all the birds having fun in our garden. 
They don't just come to eat and drink, but to wash and play and relax, sunbathing in the grass! Love it.

Doing More

Leaving the house!
On walks, time in the garden and even trips to visit Born Free Forever at Exhibition Park, Newcastle.
My first time in the city centre in 2 years and 3 months!

Doing Less
Reading...eek! Look at my page total this month compared to last month. 
There's been a lot going on so the only time I've had to read is in bed each night, but sometimes I can only manage a few pages before conking out!

Stand Out Moments

- Seeing a Bank Vole on our Dawn Chorus Day walk.
- Photographing a tiny family of Field Mice in our garden!
- Visiting Born Free Forever again.
- Taking my parents to Beamish (for the first time since I was a child).
- Getting new birdbaths.
- My car 'breaking down'.
- Booking a trip away for our Anniversary...

This year I started yet another new project, alongside my daily photos, 1 second of video each day. See below for our May video!
