  Well
we have settled Claire in Gorseinon near Swansea, just don't mention mail
boxes to her. Wilbeary, Maria and John took a van full to the brim - it
still did not contain all of her stuff.Last weekend Maria was at Patchings and she saw a bird enter the nest box. John later saw it and we can confirm that it is a pair of Great Tits. We are hoping for eggs soon. Claire is home for the Spring Bank Holiday weekend - we are looking forward to seeing her.
New Editions: Ruby and

in the pavilion and a steady stream of visitors. Then we travelled to
Swansea last weekend - Claire has a new job there and we went to find a
place for her to live. Wilbeary went with us, and as usual he found some
delicious food - even if he couldn't quite reach it.New Editions: Trouble, Jack and Anya Adopted before appearing on this site: Flopsy and Bandit No longer available: Berry and Theo |
