Water for the Thirsty

Almost always birds at our makeshift birdbath, though still very wary of us. Next, need to think how to feed them without the ants getting to it first, but thought best not to start just before going away. Hopefully, the lad we've asked to water the trees, will keep the bath filled as well.

It is so dry and hot, and predicted to get more so. Read an article about increased wildfires in the UK, but that recent rain has temporarily lessened the danger, how blessed you are!

Gratefuls:
- the privilege of these birds visiting our garden
- Maria and Zé at the market, and Helder and Isabel at the Adega
- Allegra's excitement at their new pond, on a FT with Paul
