I promised myself I would make an effort today and do "stuff", and not spend the day watching semi final and final videos.
I charged up the lawn strimmer and hedge trimmer batteries, and bought some fresh petrol for the mower.
Then I see this on Facebook....
Genuine question....is the hedge thing a "thing"? I can still cut the grass, but should I be leaving the hedge?

We have a large bush at the end of our drive, it's about 12 foot high and very dense and is home to about 40 sparrows and a couple of blackbirds. The sparrows are a joy to watch and give us,a lot of pleasure.
Its due a trim and gets a second one in September, the sparrows are very vocul but when I'm trimming they sit tight and stay quiet for the half hour it takes me to do the job.

Been doing this for the past 7 years and the birds don't seem bothered at all.

We've got sparrows in the bird boxes, and i know there's blackbirds nest in the hedge. Other birds seem to go in it when they're back and forwards to the bird feeders, so there's plenty in there. Think its best I leave it for now, but its a leylandi hedge and it bloody takes off if I don't keep on top of it.
 
Our lass has gone even further, she’s joined the no mo May brigade to protect insects and our baby frogs, we’ve got 1000’s of them. The garden doesn’t have a good look though <laugh><laugh>
I better leave of cutting the grass till tomorrow then. Today is just getting better.
