Ian S said: I don't know about "fit" but I am indeed just lurking. I however don't think I can be relied upon to contribute much at all this season. I haven't even signed up for the new WT chat tool as I don't expect to be in a position to post much. Ian
Maybe this is why Louis and Aila don't come back until April.

I have just looked out and it is sleet and hail here too. It was brilliant sunshine 20 mins ago LOL...
For the record our first snow/hail shower of the season.
It looks as tho your 'hail' has now turned to 'sleet and snow' although it doesn't look like it in a 'still'!

Woo Hoo this looks promising, nest cam has just been zoomed in - now WC Operator out a little please
Awww its back to its normal setting now
However if they can zoom in like that what a bonus that would be when eggs/chicks hatching etc etc
A little Blue Tit on the nest but only for seconds.
