You can't. But we have a lot of cover which helps them like ivy and creepers. There are also ball feeders which might protect them a bit. I have seen lampshade frame draped over nest boxes. We saw some savvy birds using one in Shropshire, Quite a big domed wire feeder. We saw a hawk on top of...

I can't believe the petunias survived the winter, we will wait and see if they flower. We also have self seeded forgetmenots in the same barrel, they keep coming and flowering when they shouldn't, we just thin them out as they provide some colour. I have always pruned roses in October ish, my...

Spring is sprung the grass is riz, Well ours hasn't it's getting baldier and baldier under the plum tree, maybe roots? I am going to try and hack some in the border that send shoots up, they could be plum, bird cherry or wayfaring tree, which has died above the ground.

Wish I could view these I can see Strawberry Hunter's pictures.

The robin is still feeding in the garage in his personal saucer, He appears to come in and feed just to please me. I have raised one of the fat feeders as the cats have had go at what looks like a blackbird, fluffy black feathers everywhere.

We have both, glazed and plastic and metal beer barrells, I painted the plastic pots to look like ceramic then varnish them. I use left over paint varnish and wood stain. I experiment, I can't life the stone pots any more. Hope you feel better soon Strawbs.

I put ours in the garage under some loose plastic sheet I cant believe the petunias survived outside

I was told that why we still sometimes see old derelict garages boarded off is that the sites are toxic for years later? There is one here used to have the small old fashioned round edged pumps, Never been built on.

Primulas coming out and crocus, snowdrops, some daffs not the ancient ones, pigeons nesting. Blackbirds are picking the moss off the corrugated garage roof. They have really tuned it over and chucked it on the yard. The roof has started to leak so we don't know if the most protects or damages...

The robins are now coming in to the garage every day when I get the bird food out. So I am leaving some extra in a small dish for when I am not there and they just nip in if I am late and take some. I even get a brush of their wings on my coat or hat or shoulder, like they do it on purpose? I...

We saw a black woodpecker in France. It has a bright red crest and mournful cry like a gibbon. It was that we heard first. They may be red under the rump but he was upright. Going up a tree. I noted their wrens are bigger. Now she was surprisingly tame. Nesting on the balcony in the gap between...

We had one flew in at my partner's mum's in France it was terrified, pooed everywhere. So we just left it, then when it was darker in the basement it could see the light and flew out via the airbricks.

I can see your snowdrops! But not everybody's.

I will have to also. Buy one. Saw lots of pied wagtails about, they never come in to the garden though. They seem to like the carparks, there are a lot of fast food outlets but even in the supermarket one. Have seen them in the street. We used to get grey and yellow ones in the garden, but not now.

Just had a 'stray' cat asking to come in. It was eating the bird food. Felt sorry for it a little tabby, a bit thin a bit wobbly. Young. It was afraid of my partner though and scuttled off. Maybe our door is like his door?

No Steve but I think I got it on my phone I will have to learn how to log in on the phone soI can converse with the forum. MAC tells me BHA is an unsecure connection attackers might be trying to steal my information. It does this to some sites now.

Yes I know the issue is with me. I will try and link my phone up to it.

No sorry. I can only see them if they appear already open on the screen. I see do you call them a blue and green thumbnail with the right hand corner missing. It is only this year I am been unable to see them. I can see my own and Pedrocut's Robin Link.

I I know the problem is my end. Maybe because the mac is old. SO it's not that i don't like your posts I just can't see them, only if they are open from the start.

Why does trying to open your attachments tell me the site is unsafe. ?Wish I could open them
