Fatbags for birds suggestion
After watching starlings initially dominate the waxeyes over the fatbags we'd put up, I noticed that once the fatbag had shrunk enough, the starlings could no longer land. So after putting up 2 new fatbags today I made a circular "lid" for one out of a bit of lino. The waxeyes can still come in from the side and even hang upside down from the "lid" but the starlings can't hover or fly in from the side. I've left the second fatbag for the starlings.
I guess an old plastic lampshade would do or an old paint tin lid - even cardboard would last for the life of the fatbag. Cheers - John
PS No starlings were harmed - just annoyed!
Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏

What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
