Hi Jeremy
Good luck with the hedgehog house. Some hogs take a while to accept them but others take to them fairly quickly. If you want it to be used for nesting, it’s better not to put food in – a handful of bedding in the house sometimes give them the idea for nesting.
How lovely to have all those birds. I sometimes get sparrowhawks here, too, but they are usually after the sparrows. They’re quite clever – they have quite long intervals between visits which lulls the sparrows into a false sense of security.
Yes, all this rain not too good for swifts, etc. Hopefully it will calm down a bit for them to return.
