Hi Annie
That Feeder sounds good. I suspect the ones who don’t like boxes might not mind so much if there are two doorways.
Glad to hear you are getting plenty of hog activity. I have two visiting here now – both males, so if they meet there’s a bit of pushing around. They don’t always visit every night and sometimes only one – maybe there are females around elsewhere! But ironically, now there are two, they don’t seem to be going into the boxes again. Maybe don’t want to get caught in there.
Oh dear, your neighbours don’t sound very hog friendly – either of them. I hate the sound of strimmers. Always imagine some poor hog getting caught up. I think I would let the shingle fall in and maybe the hole will appear again under the fence!
Yes, the birds are in my roof again, too. Starlings over the bathroom and 2 or 3 lots of sparrows. Only trouble is they get a bit noisy sometimes, especially early in the mornings. I have seen house-martins flying around a few times, but not in their normal numbers – hopefully numbers will increase. Haven’t seen the frogs in the pond yet, but saw one small one in one of the borders. I imagine there will be some in the pond when it gets warmer, although not so easy to see now, as the vegetation has grown a bit.
Yes, the roads certainly seem a lot busier again. At least the weather is nice at the moment. Although we could do with a bit of rain again now. It seems it’s all or nothing these days! But it’s nice to be able to sit in the garden now and then.
