We have green algae mainly caused by our unpleasant neighbour, over time, we can't find anyone to clean it with a soft brush, the roofer wouldn't do it but he said use a power washer. I struggle to Gert up the I can'r get done but I am going to have a go hopefully when\if Barmy neighbour goes...

Our helpers put moss from the roof all ver the lawn but the blackbird does turn the soil in the pots

I have been locked out or I would have been on the forum sooner. We have a rat problem can anyone advise please? We have removed most of well 99% of the food sources as we feed the birds just mealworms now, where we can see them eating it and they eat it all, We still leave water for foxes and...

Fantastic photos, I have repaired a bird box we have 2 now no sign of any life round them though.

Lots of building going on there now. Someone took us or I would have got lost all new roads and a myriad of traffic islands, maybe there is a more country way,.? We passed a big mansion type house on an old dual carriage way up for sale. Then there was a chain hotel I forgot the name I think we...

No I doubt it. That would be great

I noted some blackbirds have white feathers when in moult, obviously not at this time of year, but also at other times . He could be an early baby. Or a late baby? We get late baby squirrels. Or maybe he has been pooped upon? Our robins are fighting off other birds at the feeders now. I noted...

We did the RSPB bid count hardly any birds. Garden is flooded at the front. Fat feeders keep going rotten. We do get a wren wonder if she has a nest already, there was a spate of 2 coal tits coming, definitely pairs of birds. My rudimentary feeder is working, I clean it every day the upturned...

I know they can fly very fast. I watched one pitted against a Peregrine I think it was in a race, flying to a lure in one of the Springwatches, with Chris Packham, and Iolo Williams. Whilst the barn owl didn't win it was a close second. I know barn owls are light in weight. I believe only owls...

I don't remember those but there use to be a brick structure at the top of our street, facing down the middle of the road, built on to a factory wall on the the street which ours ended up in, if you know what I mean. A T junction, with 2 holes for rifles in it from WW2, I forget the name of...

We have daffodil 11 buds where they have been coming up blind for years. They are ancient. One is a foot high but the rest a few inches. Just handful of snowdrops.

I liked the iron balustrades? on bus stops. A bit like seas side promenade railings. The bus stops signs used to be round. There used to be a gentlemen's urinal in Coventry painted green. It was known as the Green Man did Brum have them. It was in the middle of a big junction without an island...

I don't know about you but we still have elephants ears in the snow, flowering hyssop trailing in the pot, and a geranium blooming in a pot outside the front door. I posted last year the bird box fell down. While trying to put it back up, the tree moved, a lot! We had to have it felled or it...

Hello Matt I consulted my Irish friends of whom one is an adoptee. They told me you can ask at the libraries there. They went to their library in Carlow. I don't know if all libraries offer the same services there. Ours here did not when I was first searching 22 years ago. My friend here tells...

I forgot about FLIT
