Glad you eventually got home Jim, we heard via the TP on radio that there was a "police incident" and they had closed the M61 in both directions. We were lucky and had a good run down M6 and got home in 1 hr. 20 mins. only 5 mins longer than normal. Enjoy what's left of your birthday and glad you enjoyed your sausage bap brekky and birthday cake afternoon tea :) What are those robin fledglings going to do without Uncle Jim, Uncle Mike and Aunt Hazy lol It's been fun and weather was glorious. Look forward to your special pics :)

Half hid the cam & tripod & ended up with an odd view!! Robin getting better at cramming in the waxworms, unfortunately battery died before he came back for the rest!
Must plug cam back into mains again!

Same story here, but with several dozen Spadgers and Starlings watching every move that the HTR's make. I have to distract the others with mealies and then leave the waxies in a dish for the HTR's. This didn't work earlier this afternoon, as Mrs HTR flew past me and landed on an open mealie pot and started tucking in. After inspecting a packet of cheese, she went back to the mealies and knocked the pot onto the floor! I did film that and will get it on YouTube eventually. It is on Twitter
