Do jackdaws nest in the winter, or are they looking for somewhere to spend winter comfortably?
I had a squirrel run right past me the other day. Husband and son were working the other side of the y ... |

| The buzzards seemed to be very active low down today. Saw a couple gliding through the woods. They seem quite good at maneuvering round trees. There are rather fewer leaves on the tops of the trees no ... |

| Good news you got the money at last Gregotyn. It sounds as if it is worthwhile shopping locally, especially at the moment. Perhaps go into Welshpool if you need several things other than food. I have ... |

| Very nice. If that is a new stove, they suggest a small fire to begin with to cure the paint off properly. It will smell horrid at first, but the smell fades after a few days. |

| When we were out and about the other day we saw two. The buzzards in the woods do a pretty good job of clearing up, to say nothing of badgers and foxes. Son once filched a daft pheasant that had broke ... |

| As far as I know they are not fed; I haven't heard of any feeding programmes anyway. We have plenty of buzzards and in many ways the kite has a similar, although I believe slightly more active, lifest ... |

| Postcrete is a lot quicker, but as you say, the hand mix is cheaper and gives you more time for adjustment. I would use some of the stones you got out. |

| Agree with Ty Gwyn. If the post is oak or chestnut the concrete attacks the wood and visa versa so it rots faster. Well rammed earth and stones is best. You could also try a tie bar back to a bracing ... |

Hope you get a good price for it.
As for swimming, at least you can swim. It is something I have never really mastered, although I could probably stay afloat if I really had to. Somehow I seem to ... |
