Went to the Mossley Hill Peregrines nest site before.
Two fully fledged chicks, sat on the ledge, flapping for all it was worth.
They’ll be gone by the weekend.
Noisy beggars though !

So there am i munching pizza and sipping
a thoroughly pleasant wine and a baby crow that we somehow befriended appears and we start chatting. I start marvelling about how intelligent crows are, based on what people tell me. Then he squarks goodbye, casually takes off and flies into a closed window.

That's a shame, but on the bright side crows are surprisingly good eating when cooked for a while. Great in pies.

He's still a puppy not quite sure of his wings, so it was all slow motion. He flew off again, a little embarrassed I suspect.
I think your missus has slipped a few mushrooms on that pizza of yours.

Saw a Jay from my window a couple of days ago. Looking for bird nests going from tree to tree and causing chaos.

She's off consoling a friend who's borderline suicidal. I've spent the afternoon chatting to an 80+ year old neighbour, over a nottlecof white wine, who's undergoing chemotherapy as his wife is being admitted into a dementia home while she gains strength to fix a failed hip replacement.
It's all quite surreal here at the moment. It's what life is all about when we're not distracted by TV and whatever it is the government's media is trying to make us miserable and about distracting us with faux celebrity.

Striped hawk moth.
I haven`t seen a single Swallow or House Martin by us at all this year.
There`s usually two pairs of Swallows every year, feeding on the field where I walk the dog.
I`m not even seeing them when I go running on Hale Shore and there`s hardly any House Martins, nesting under the eves of the shops at retail park in Speke - there`s normally dozens of pairs every year.
Yet, when I`ve been out in rural Yorkshire, I`ve seen loads of them, it`s very strange.

Oh they are here mate.
I'm just down the road from you ,plenty of Swallows & Swifts when there's insects hatching.
Loads around Oglet shore over the farmland , again mainly when there's a big insect hatch.
As you say not many Martins tho.

....a feature on Sky News last week that numbers are falling drastically. They are amazing birds.
