your never to old to learn mate the best indication of spring is      people start putting pics of there dogs up lol 

Used to have them come to had at work. I thought they followed me around the park but turned out there were several in different places that would come and sit on my hand. They love mini suet pellets

Hedgehogs were out on force last night, Some right shenanigans going on 3 going round and round.   That f***ing cat. Cheers Arry

No sooner posted and she has come back in and started sitting again after an hour and 45 minutes away. Whether the eggs are still viable we will have to see. But sort of chuff she is back.

We now know 7 have hatched and are doing well.

The parents both good but were bringing in caterpillars that were bit to big so being a soft old twat I went and bought some live mealy worms and put up the garden. Well at first they got a few but the Jackdaws moved in and cleared them. so put some old netting over the the Tits can get in but the Corvids cant. 

Its good to watch after I put them out both parents are bringing them in.

Put the trail cam looking down.

Watch out for the Gulls mate especially the Black Backs when I was on maintenance at a factory they used to pick off the ducklings. They would come up behind a line of ducklings and pick off the tail ender and fly off with it.

Got a decent sized bit of lawn at the back and now the garden’s full of young starlings, mouths agape, running round after the adults which are busy rooting for leatherjackets. Had the sprinkler out on Sunday and some came in for a ‘shower. It was interesting watching the different characters.., how some were bold and some were very cautious. It’s a dangerous time whilst they’re still learning to get about. Came out to a pile of feathers this morning, which I’d usually chalk up to the neighbourhood sparrowhawk, but suspect the murderer was a carrion crow that was drinking out the bird bath.., no doubt washing down one of the bold or slow Starlings.
