Just to let you know that Kestrel visited again today bringing vole prey to eat on cliff ledge but you are spared the gory details for now cos my internet playing up & vid uploading to YT at a rate of one second every half hour ... gonna be a long night!! Lol

EDIT: taken this long to upload ... he's finished eating @ 57 secs in

What a handsome fellow he is and looks glorious in the sunshine despite the breezy conditions ! Sorry your internet is playing up Wendy and hope the connection has improved this morning. Makes you wonder how we survived without all these modern wonders in the early days but guess we never missed what we never had lol As technology gets "smarter" I'm not sure I can keep up with it all these days as its gone way beyond me and my tech skills - I find myself more and more having to go online to google fixes or resolve more complicated issues via live chat with the various software/telecom companies ! I used to like life when it was simple lol

My life is simple aitch ... simply having to put up with it whilst BT have all the angst in putting it right to placate many irate customers ... found some vile remarks about them online when googling problem!
Seems a bit better today, not so tardy on this forum anyway!
