Hi Annie
Am still waiting here, hopefully, for my two dear old friends to return. Meanwhile, the other two girls are not being their usual selves at all and are not visiting at their usual times. I think all the hogs here, both boys and girls are spending a lot of time rushing around looking for each other. Plenty of hogs late at night on the cams – yes I finally got some – but very quiet at civilised times of the evening.
I get a lot of starlings here, too. They are experts at splashing around and emptying the water bowls and mini ponds. They seem to like bathing together. They nest in my roof, luckily over the bathroom, so not too much disturbance, as they can get very noisy! My last year’s dominant blackbird who sits on top of the water butts and peers in at me has been demoted. He still sometimes turns up. He actually looks very sleek and handsome and the current boss bird is very scruffy!
