Thanks for the heads up mum.  Here we go again  ::)

There have been a few outbreaks in Europe, so I wondered if it was heading our way  :(

Thanks mum, time to sort out my footwear for the pen then :(. It’s a solid roof & weldmesh sides, now clad in corrugated plastic or poly carbonate, so no access to wild birds there, so unless I walk something in there!

Thank you mum!

I’m always finding a pesky robin or house sparrow in the run

In the process of building a new moveable coop the wheels have just arrived
