Hi Nic
Building work is going to begin in a couple of weeks so as it’s a small job & isn’t going to take too long to complete (hopefully) I think it may not put off any potential hog visitors as they’ll be able to arrive roughly when I usually notice them in May. Fingers firmly crossed for an interesting year!
Guess you may have had activity already as it’s been so mild, be interesting to hear how hoglet is.
I did BirdWatch too, but even though I tried several counts over the 3 days couldn’t get anywhere near the amazing numbers I counted the previous weekend when I got the dates mixed up (!) Typical. Counted 37 starlings the previous weekend, think a chunk of a murmuration must have landed in my garden!! A thrush was visiting every day for weeks but haven’t seen it this week.
Lovely to hear the birdsong, including a thrush, put moss off flowerpots I cleared out & small twigs in a pile for anybody wanting nesting materials.
