Not good with two gundogs around. I put the dogs back in the house, one of the sparrows tried to fly, ended up in the pond and would have drowned if I hadn't rescued it. I found some mesh and covered the pond. The birds settled down for the night in one corner of the garden so I 'fenced' it off using wheelie bins, garden bench, large pots etc to keep the dogs away. Well, they stayed in there for a couple of days with the mum and dad popping in regularly to feed them. The babies were becoming more active yesterday and flapping their wings. I checked this morning and they've gone, but I expect they may come back this evening again. Hope your husband gets well again soon. And yes, I know what teenagers are like after you've been shopping!

One nested in a thick bush that overhangs our garden and the other family nested else-where but feed in our garden!! There are a pair of Magpies around that cause chaos so I'm out shooing them off when I hear a commotion!!! The folk I see on a Wednesday have a pair of Kestral's nesting in the Owl box!!rabbitquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613054286672505217noreply@blogger.com
