Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....

I'm wondering, hopefully, whether the first returnees are making an appearance in my sadly quiet garden ....... a thrush yesterday in thrushes' favourite place, the birdbath. Above all others, the thrushes seem to glory in a baffie - uninhibited joy is obvious to see as they carefully half-empty the...

Re: CATS

Lissen, we could maybe negotiate a swap - one Mk XCIV scary stick for 25 yards of electric fencing, if you throw in a rubber collar.
Deal ... ??

Re: BIRD FEEDING

The Mk IV is obsolete and spares can no longer be obtained. However, we are about to launch our new concept, the Mk XCIV, which is solar-powered, height adjustable and is offered in a range of colours.

Re: BIRD FEEDING

That's a shame innit ?? Everyone suffers 'cos of the actions of a few. Parallels can be drawn elsewhere re that particular attitude. Fortunately, at the moment many of our little regulars don't seem to need the same support as usual so it's a good time to try it. On the other hand, as luck would hav...

Re: CATS

Well yes, I know, but ...... as far as this guy is concerned my defences are down :rolleyes: and he's got where no other cat has ever got before. Chockful of charisma. As he quite rightly points out, he's a resident and he's got his Rights. I mean, what can one say ....... ? Talking of cats, why is ...

Re: CATS

I'm in a sort of feline-imposed lockdown at the moment. Rooney has been sitting on my patio wall since first light, and is still there now, so there's no point in going out to feed the birds.
