Wondering if I can come up with a run-commute route that goes that way without being ridiculously long - I'll stick the small bins in the pack - especially now the cafe is open

Cafe re-opening is fantastic news. It wasn’t open on Saturday afternoon when we walked by

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind a newbie? I've been feeding our garden birds for the past couple of weeks and we are now seeing quite large numbers of what I think are sparrows, black birds, thrush's and magpies, robins and blue tits and then a few other small birds. We have been amused by the black birds mostly. There is an area of grass on the lawn which has a large ants nest... The sparrows eat the ants fine, the black birds seem to dance around covered in ants, getting more and more irritated, pecking at themselves, then the ground, hopping a few inches over and repeating... I could watch them for hours. We refer to it as the face floor... It looks like they are dancing! 😂 |

goodreads.com Hi Em, have a look at this book. Ignore the title - it’s a great introduction to birdwatching and nicely written |

Oooooo could I borrow it at some point please flanker? When we’re actually allowed to see you IRL rather than through a computer screen 😢😢 Hang on - you could hold it up to the screen and turn the pages for me once I’ve nodded to say I’ve read them.... hang on! I think I’ve just invented something 😉 we could call it a f-book 😀 |

Good to see you here Em! Nice number of birds you've seen, much better than my garden lot although two Goldfinches yesterday were around for a while. Usual Cetti's and Reed this morning, Whitethoats more obvious this year, Blackcaps still singing everywhere still. |
