Thank Christ we've broken the back of winter. I feel ten times more bright and optimistic. Don't know if it's just me with getting older but this winter seems to be the coldest I can remember for a wile just hope we have a good summer now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snap. I lost a lot of weight last year , and I think that's been half of the problem . I've never been one for feeling the cold when I'm working , and usually, I'll happily work out in the snow wearing a t shirt , but I've been wearing a fleece since last September . Old age just sort of sneaks up on you mate . I'm only 56 , f**k knows what I'll be like in a few years . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know where they go. Been a nest on a golf course 2 minutes from me for a few years now. Last Autumn there were 6 young birds kicking about together, I assume all fledged from the same nest. Quite a sight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m hoping they nest in the same place so I can get some pictures saw a couple of buzzards grabbing feet and tumbling this morning but they were so far up I couldn’t get pics on my phone just specs lol 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
