Pair of Robins making regular visits to the two tables I've got here, they do their usual feisty routine with the others but they seem to get on with each other against all the odds. Have you been brave enough to venture into live mealworms yet, Chuff??? Robins love them! You have to put the mealies into quite high-sided containers, though, or they'll wriggle away!  I've found somewhere to get them murph but don't think I'll bother. Magpies, Crows and Gulls seem to dominate at the moment and all the smaller birds are just nipping on when they can to pick up the remains. I've had to be ever more creative hanging things underneath rather than placing on top. |

I can hear the owls at dusk yet to actually see them but the abundance of songs come dawn and dusk is absolutely amazing

Mixed news from the Dyfi Osprey nest. Egg one hatched chick doing well, egg two hatched chick died of 'accidental suffocation', third egg due to hatch tomorrow apparently. Fingers crossed. By all accounts it's not uncommon re the suffocation.
