Amazing how effective glue traps can be. However, a kingfisher is the next project, this is a nuthatch.

Of course it is. How stupid of me. Going down the tree head first is a giveaway. Unless you’ve mounted it upside down.

Random questions; there is a Raptor rescue based near Blackburn, where they look after and display owls, hawks, and eagles. They were visited by a DEFRA official to check on their bird flu precautions. They were a bit puzzled by the question "Do you get much trouble with porcupines ?"

Reruns of top of the pops from the 90s. Women were so much hotter back then. Far less fakery. Even Jo Wiley looks hot presenting it, I forgot she was quite a sort back then

Stories like this;

Apparently, having just been elected Pope, Francis rang home to Argentina to tell his family. The phone was answered by one of his nephews, "Who is this ?" the nephew asked, "It's your uncle, you knob-head" came the Pontiff's reply.

We have definitely lost a decent Pope. I don’t believe in Catholicism but he seems the best in my lifetime and seems to have made an impact on everyone he met. Probably should’ve posted on the religion thread but that seems to be clogged with desperate back and forths with no discussion whatsoever

Pope Francis created a large number of new Cardinals during his Papacy, and obviously this is their first Conclave. It has been reported that a number of them have been watching the Ralph Fiennes movie to find out what happens.

Just returned from a session at my Thursday lunchtime watering hole. They sell freshly made pizza on Thursdays. On the menu today were VE Day specials comprising of - spam, tomatoes, onions and peas. Sadly no dried egg!
