"On the other hand, if Alfie proved to have used a combination of slaps that ensured immediate death in less than 1 minute as animal welfare regulations indicate and he then proceeded to make a pigeon pie that would make it acceptable behaviour. Correct? I think he could still meet Sold in heaven."

"Oh hey, The Lumineers"

"One of these chaps, called a puput in these parts, is regularly visiting my garden to dig for grubs (I think) in the fallen pine needles. Love it, best bird around here for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_hoopoe"

"Nurse sorry to read that. It hit me a bit out of the blue, I assumed I was reading a happy rescue story. Very caring of you."

"That is amazing Cheeses, what a lucky guy. I think they are swallows. You’re right, cannot see many details always flying and quite fast, definitely black and white. Not sure about tail shape. They fly at all heights, but mainly lowish in the village around 2-3rd storey or higher, but just outsid...

"I think there are plenty of swallows about here, they come every year without fail. I say I think as I’m not sure they are swallows? When I first came here I had a top floor flat and it was a delight to drink my coffee in the morning with the swallow type birds swopping by the kind of bay window ...

"Zeb, watch out for these Starlings if they start roosting before you know it you will have 100s or 1000s of the fuckers making a big racket and shitting everywhere. Nip on the bud, I don’t let them settle making load bangs. They go to the neighbours trees. He moans like fuck, I even told him what...

"Coffee, I have heard that saying and could have a guess at the meaning, why? I would only shot the pigeons and I was thinking to eat them or at least feed them to my dogs. I am concerned on 2 things, I guess it would be nice to wait until the breeding season is over and hate to think I may injure o...

"Expresso Love, Dire Straits"

"Have to say I lost interest in the birds there, but I’ve started trying to feed them again and am getting quite a few sparrows, which surprisingly is an advance compared to back in April - March or whenever it was? I have to say, I’m at a bit of a crossroads and am in two minds, either go for t...

"Opened this up for a bit of inspiration Marillion, forgot they even existed, I give them a spin!"

Some happy clappy crap I don't know the name of on Radio 2

"Ok, thanks for the advise. I have cleaned all old food of the table and put just hamster food. It is a bit exposed, but difficult to move, I made it a bit too permanent, right near my kitchen window so I could see them every morning. Certainly is different here in Spain. Never seen feed or feeders ...

"So birders, where am I going wrong? Birds not interested in my bird table? It started well, had some old rather dodgy chicken food so I set up a rat proof table and put the food on it after a little while the birds seemed happy then it became just collared doves as they ate everything and did not l...

We're listening to something called Les Paul an his friends on Spotify. Was recommended by some friends. Have to say it's ok.

"Dm, I've got The Wall on again!, but I'll listen to all those. This Spotify thing is the business, not really used it much."

"The Wall Dm, I""òve got the album on. I played it to death when I was a teenager and have not listened to it since the 80s, absolutely marvelous!"

"Zeb, a flock of great and blue tits must be a sight to behold. You’ve all inspired me to get the seed on the table early and see what the day holds."

"In the real world in isolation Spain, a long way from that sad cսnt, the sparrows are taking full advantage of a collared dove free bird table."

Mex Martillo 10:39 Sun Mar 29 Re: For WHO's Birders Just saw my first sparrow type bird on my caged bird table. That was a whole week with no bird risking a visit after I put the cage to stop the collared doves controlling the table! They are timid little creatures aren’t they.

"I surprised there’s no mention of the song thrush, beautiful singer, it’s in the name. Blackbird is also a great singer. Don’t think I ever heard a robin or wren sing, but delightful little chaps to see. None can top Mr. Riddle’s pidgeon though. Sorry still no birds on my table, perhaps I d...

"No birds on my table today, timid little fuckers. Still it’s a shitty cold rainy day and I’d just stay in too."
