Fledgling sparrow in the garden. Had to take a pop at a magpie a couple of times with a water gun. Hope it makes the night.

Got a hedgehog eating mealworms outside the garden door, bloody noisy eaters. Trying to listen to the TV!!!

A bit of useless info on these two points .If you have a cage bird and it is hard to catch ,spray it with water and it can't fly -If you put mealworms into a beehive they will kill all the bees.

Had some more cactus blooms this mornin'...need to get the blower out but it's monsoon season and storms crop up from out of nowhere and ruin your work in 10 mins of fury.
