Some tits are trying to break into my house.

One hit wonders.

It's happy hour again....

In the caravan of love.

with me and the farmer....

That'll be three hit wonders then?

To which we can add Think For A Minute

Reached #18 apparently - if we include top 40 entries as hits that is, rather than employing the rather strict criteria of Trumpet.

 

[Withnail]

yes that is him...

A year on and they are back - are they still a nuisance db?

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow.

So neglected and torn apart.

They've only just come back and haven't started nest building yet as far as i can see - i saw a pair checking out the eaves of the Swan yesterday.

Some people near me have put spikes in their eaves to deter nest building, which seems to work if the declining martin population is anything to go by.

If it's martins and the like nesting under the eaves then a few dangly bits of fluttery tape will induce them to look elsewhere.

that sounds about right.. behold:

are there people i can call in to sort it out, do you know?

Tonight's edition of Saving Species on Radio 4 contained a discussion of the current world-wide decline in the numbers of swifts.

Ive been watching the Haining Bore

They are the long-tailed variety and have spent most of the last two days trying to knock a way through the bay windows, both upstairs and down. They may have been at it longer, as I've been away. They seem quite determined. Is this normal? The pair of them were hammering on the bedroom window this morning and they've been taking turns at the downstairs one on and off all day, so far.

Same here today, not sure which they are either, but they're quite determined to tap all day....

 

[Gramaisc]

This is one of mine.
