Back home the painting's going well, although a 4th coat's needed after all. And I did a bit more concrete scouring in the yard. I lifted some decking tiles we've been using to keep the plant pots off the ground and uncovered quite a few worms. When I looked later, a blackbird was doing his best to fit them all in his beak at once!
I've seen more birds this spring than last year: so far there are plenty of the usual house sparrows, yesterday there were 3 wood pigeons feeding on top of the wall, and there are at least 2 blackbirds. I hope we get some of the bluetits back as well, and I'm still keeping an eye open for the woodpecker.
