As you are all aware “ALTRPD – aka The old dragon” is sadly no longer with us. We are all agreed that this months Good Egg should be awarded to her for her kind and helpful presence and for her humorous posts. We know she will be sadly missed. All the moderators have been shocked and saddened by her passing and offer our condolences to her family and friends, I am sure you are all agreed a well deserved Good Egg.
Kind Regards
RSPB Moderators
Why not check out the news from the wildlife enquiries team?
Shocking and very sad news. Lovely gesture Ant & RSPB Moderators.
May she rest in peace and my thoughts are with her family and friends.
A lovely gesture and a very well deserved Good Egg.
My condolences to all her family and friends.

This is not just something I made up, but I genuinely saw my first wren in the garden, on the weekend, since I moved up here nearly two months ago.
We said she would be keeping an eye on us! ;o)
I will try and get a picture if she makes another appearance (almost certainly I would say!).

Desperately sad news - was quite shocked + unsure how to post my upset.
My thoughts + prayers with all Al's family + friends.
This is a lovely idea - Good Egg - well deserved.
Ponty perhaps newly visiting wrens should be called AllyWrens.

What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare ........

This one has already been christened Ally! Proving to be a tough to photograph. As Wrens are won't to do, she is staying hidden in the dark undergrowth! ;o)
Thats your challenge of the week Ant :)
I will get a photo don't you worry! I need one in my Great Garden Twitch Off against my brother (Andy B on here).
Very pleased to hear this.
What a lovely memorial.
