The boys in work were the cause of my puncture, they are always dropping metal screws and fixings outside when they load the vans up to go to a job and that's what it was. I told them I'm going to have it tested for finger prints to find out who it was!!

Hi all, I can't remember when I was last on here! Needless to say, all has changed - All within this month I've got a new job, moved out (house came with job) and picked up my new best friend yesterday. I am now a walled/kitchen gardener, and now owned by Ottillie, a Picardy Sheepdog! I will get photos posted tomorrow. Hope everyone and their dogs are all okay! Welcome back bectil , can't wait to see your photos and hear all about your new Job, and especially your new owner. How are Tilly and Alfie getting on? Alfie and Tilly are doing just fine thank you! You can tell I am no longer living at home.. let's put it this way, they are certainly getting plenty to eat! I'm going to sort photos out now. Might take a while to figure out how everything was done!

We took Kobi for a walk yesterday and saw a Jay fly across in front of us, followed by 3 more. I don't see them very often so that was a treat. Then, later on hubby called me into the garden to see a bird of prey to see if I knew what it was. We often see Buzzards and Sparrowhawks but this one was larger than a Buzzard and had a forked tail. I looked through our bird books and I think it was a Kite. I was watching it gliding for ages and then 2 more joined it. I couldn't see any white underneath, which Red Kites have, but reading online it states that sometimes the bird can look grey against a grey sky. Whatever they were I feel honoured to have seen them. Gillykat would know for sure but she's not on the forum anymore.

I just read online that there is a place called Gigrin Farm in Rhayader Mid Wales that organisers a Red Kite Feeding Station. It's 61 miles from where I live and I would love to see it. The farm owners charge £7 per adult and at 2pm every day they put out meat for the birds. Ravens, Crows etc. come down to feed first, then Buzzards and finally the Red Kites. The Feeding Station only shuts for Christmas. The RSPB approached the farm owners about organising a feeding station when they found out that the current owner's late father used to feed them. They wanted it set up to have an impact on the young kites that were being lost over the winter and to stop people disturbing the nesting sites. It is now a feeding station for the Red Kites and also a Rehabilitation Centre. on Flickr on Flickr I must go there sometime this year.
