I got another slap for this comment when my eagle eyed wife said “look at the Red kites”. Not my best photo, as they were very high, but nice to see anyway. After being almost wiped out in the UK, a re-introduction programme was launched. In 1989, six Swedish birds were released at a siteContinue reading “May 12th – Where are the strings?”

May 10th – Building without planning permission!
We have been having a coffee in the morning out the front, and have noticed a very industrious builder incredibly close to the house…… OK – There’s a pair of pigeons constantly in and out of our hedge, and I am not sure about building a nest?

April 27th – Bath-time….
