Well it's a fact so don't know what to say

The cormorants moved inland after stocks of sea fish were depleted, they hammer local fish populations then move on, I knew somewere with 2000 cormorants at one time each eating around 2lb of fish a day, nowhere except the sea can take that kind of hammering. Worse than what they eat us they just kill indiscriminately I've been fish were cormorants are working a shoal and bream after bream in the 4-6lb bracket drifted in, in their death throes with big gouges out there sides. Sad to sea and like always over here your not allowed to control them hence they get out of hand.

Picked up these for my mate Pigs under an Oak in my garden. Already germinating.

Any body else in your area have a zero acorn crop this year trees that were heaving with acorns last year are devoid of any acorns this year.

Interestingly coinciding with widespread reports of squirrels turning up well away from woodlands ....?

The horse chestnut trees in the local park are full of conkers it's also been poor for blackberries around my way this year.

We had loads of plums mate, but the apples and pears are much less than previous years..

Sloes were out early and gone, nothing by end of August
