Update






Nothing much happening in the garden over the past couple of months until today!

Our racing pigeon stuck around for a couple of weeks but was very wary of any attempts to catch it. We even went away for a short break of 3 days and on our return he was still on our roof ! He eventually vanished as suddenly as he appeared in the first place and it is quite possible that a raptor or cat got him.
On the subject of raptors we had a visit from a female Sparrowhawk today which took one of the Blackbirds which regularly come for sultanas. She was very obliging and kindly posed for photos before flying off with the remains of her prey grasped in her talons.
