Thanks. We are currently looking at peoples gardens when we walk the dog for ideas of plants/bushes/trees for our front garden!!

Well, it will hit the big houses first (and they are mainly caber throwers) - let’s see if they deal with it first 😀

Looks like it. It is spreading quite aggressively up there ☹️ and could be coming my way!!

This is taking over at the top of our lane from the road it connects to - any ideas??

Not my land unfortunately- I have told one of the owners about it Not if it is still alive 😜

Also have a look at Revo Uninstaller for cleaning out old software

It’s not fun when it’s dead!!😂🤣😂 told the wife and she said se saw one years ago in the school across from us. Said it was hissing at the dogs

Not with my wife!! It was a lovely looking animal though - but I do know what they do and have put a post out on a local group

Well, our bird problem has gone now (see my Siskin thread). Well, 10 minutes ago I glanced up from my laptop (in a teams call) to see a mink on our front wall!! Unfortunately by the time I grabbed my phone and turned back it was gone so no photo evidence. there is a small stream about 100 yards from us

You can subscribe for cheap by doing it on a vpn (signing up). Plenty of instructions online for how to do it I suffer the ads as I watch it on a fire stick so no add blocker options

Well, today there have been quite a few less and some of the tits have been back to the feeders. @TIGHTCHOKEwe get long tails in the winter @Lampwickwe also get goldfinches as well we used to get woodpeckers and nut hatched but not since we had to have the tree cut down

Ours haven’t!! We are considering stopping putting seed out for a few days. I keep expecting to see Alfred Hitchcock shouting “action” 😂

Sorry, but this becoming a problem now. I would hazard a guess at over 100 of them. In fact we are seeing less of other birds now just by being crowded out!! We may have to stop feeding them!! the trouble is they are flighty my phone camera isn’t great at zoom - despite Apples advertising!!

This is great to hear!! Hopefully my post has got people looking out for them - or second looking when they think they see greenfinches

It is the magic trick that the government does. Loading more funding for national (police/fire etc) into the council levy so they can offer a minuscule reduction in NICS - but they still have more money to throw to certain places like protecting non-uk places of worship, boaters etc…

I wondered where the mother-in-law had got to 😂

Fixed it for you Grant 😀

Had them for about a month now - they are getting plenty of food but the bank balance is being affected 😂

But we are the magic money tree!! feel sorry for leaseholders- they have double whammy of unscrupulous people/organisations who dip their hands freely into their pockets

I did try to catch it in the afternoon but it could fly well enough. However it wasn’t seen yesterday at all

Some photo’s I was able to take yesterday. These seem to be of fledglings (possibly the same one as they were taken several hours apart

Well, I do work in IT 😂😂

Sorry about you receiving this - it was supposed to go to @Penelope!!

£3k here - 9% increase with 5% increase for police and town when we moved here 20 years ago it was cheaper than Cheshire - the next county/country over but the way it has increased over the past several years is a joke Apparently the increase in Assembly Members by over 50% will have another big impact on council tax when it happens ☹️

I do lots of things - but the success rate varies!!
