I haven't been to the woods for a couple of ... |

| The problem I have with pheasants is that they come to our woods from across the road as 'refugees' from the shoot, and stay still until you almost step on them then fly up squawking. They also become ... |

| We occasionally have birds fly into our bedroom window. No idea why as there is a lot of creeper round it, so wouldn't have thought they would want to get entangled with it anyway. Plus is that there ... |

| Those are really lovely pictures and something I think a lot of people miss. I have a pair of robins that live somewhere around the fruit trees, and usually come out to see me when I go down there. We ... |

Think our crop in the south was quite good. We had a reasonable crop on our trees, but they are not in a very good place, so cropping is rather poor.
Currently getting Ashmead Kernel from a farm s ... |

| No wildlife to report, but walking down through the wood it was so silent. Very little wind, and in the valley no sound at all. |
