Good Morning MIKE
Alys is eating fish Has Monty sneaked in wieth fish or is it some left overs?
I can see Alys coming back in a couple of years and challening Telyn for this nest
Alys just flown to the larch perch so must have been a scrap There is another bird on the perch Presumably Monty as I am sure Alys wouldn't tolerate poor Helyg that close
Hi Patily. Monty brought it in just now, Alys started to eat on the nest but then flew up to the Larch perch.
I can't 'quote' your lovely image of Alys, Mike , so no picture of her under which to say:(I don't have the 'things' on which to 'quote' for some reason , just the REPLY button)
Alys on the Larch: don't been to be critical or anything, just want to know if I've remembered correctly .... that the Larch is now the Birch ???
Cirrus. To use quote you have to use the Rich Formatting link on the right hand side.
I think the main post is one type and the actual perch is another! Frankly I can't remember which is which now!
Dang! as Scylla would say Mike. I just counln't see it. Too light a grey on my machine. Got it now. Thanks for you response
Mike B said: I think the main post is one type and the actual perch is another! Frankly I can't remember which is which now!
Someone on the Chat referred to it as the Lurch Perch.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I thought the larch perch was the big perch in the distance and the birch was the one sticking out of the nest that Alys seems to occupy?
