We have a family of blackbirds in our garden. The chics usually can’t fly for 2 or 3 days after they come out the nest and are susceptible to predators. When the local sparrowhawk is around I’m out flapping my arms and chasing him away!
Son in Norway had a spelk and messaged to ask me what I used to use on them for spelks and grazes when they were little. He's now homesick over the smell of Dettol 
I've just found out what a Wigan kebab is. I must have led a sheltered life.
Best thing I did was add a pond. Makes a huge difference.
Never heard that before but i assume it has an aftertaste?
I must have led a more sheltered one than you because I’ve never heard of one. Unless I have to take it literally and it actually is a type of roasted meat from Wigan. But somehow I don’t think it is.
Me ma said divn't eat green/yellow snow but she ommited the divn't chew on a Wigan kebab?
My understanding is it’s a pie in a bun.
It's probably a very Aussie kind of thing. They love their pies, business opportunity for you here EJK.
I'm thinking about digging a pond. I saw a picture of one with a pebble beach which was good for birds and insects to drink and bathe in. I've got a hanging plate type dish for the birds to drink from and a blue tit keeps coming and having a bath in it
I bought one of these and it's in flower now:
It's insane how many bees are busy working on it. Various types of bee and they're all flitting about with pollen stuffed pockets! We call it the buzzy bush now

We have small frogs despite the nearest burn being quite a distance ...
... time the little fellas had somewhere to call home.
My next door neighbour has one of those, it's always crawling with bees when in bloom. We call it the 'Marge Simpson Bush'I'm thinking about digging a pond.

Got loads of self set hollyhocks at the allotment love watching the bees go right into the bell like flowers and buzzing as the flowers vibrate. I’ve got a rabbit nest too. Darn’t tell the other allotment owners or they’d be around with their pitchforks and torches.
As I've mentioned previously I have a magnificent pheasant who I feed by hand.
That was nice enough but now he's started bringing his girlfriend who eats nuts out of the bird feeder.
Either this is actually happening or I'm finally losing my mind.
