andyc, I am sure you're are right. I don't have the paper. moved house recently- into the sticks. not a paper shop (or any other come to that) for a few miles.
yeah, birds are a bloody nuisance aren't they. I've got a huge garage but I can't get it sorted out because there are a load of baby robins hopping about and hiding all over the place. about two more weeks I reckon before they clear off.
