The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

You didn't miss anything at Fly !!

I went up this pm to put some Nyger seed down just in case the Twite show early - ever hopeful.

Not a sign of any mipits back yet but glad you got some this morning so it's good to know they are on their way.
