I'm very jealous :)


Whereabouts was the kingfisher? By a stream?

We have a few around at times..I keep a spare tin of dogs food in the cupboard and give them some BUT I understand milk can be VERY bad for them...also hope people just give a quick check before lighting bonfires as many get killed when sleeping in the twigs etc
  • 2 weeks later...
we had a small hedgehog in the garden of our old place on tewkesbury lodge estate back in march (husband saw a much bigger one on liphook cresent the previous summer). Saw a couple of buzzards a few weeks back and always curious why there arent more birds of prey (buzzards etc) given the amount of vermin etc

Maybe they're finding better pickings elsewhere?


I had a bird of prey in my tiny garden a few years ago. It was actually quite scary because it was so large in relation to the size of the garden.


I used to get a load of starlings coming down to my bird feeders, and it had one in its claws. The poor starling was making the most terrible noise. I was going to go out and try to rescue the starling, but thought better of it when I realised what a large beak and claws might do to me, never mind the starling :))

    • Just last week I received cheques from NS&I. I wasn't given the option of bank transfer for the particular transaction. My nearest option for a parcel pick up point was the post office! The only cash point this week was the post office as the coop ATM was broken.   Many people of whatever age are totally tech savvy but still need face to face or inside banking and post office services for certain things, not least taking out cash without the worry of being mugged at the cash point.    It's all about big business saving money at the expense of the little people who, for whatever reason, still want or need face to face service.   At least when the next banking crisis hits there won't be anywhere to queue to try and demand your money back so that'll keep the pavements clear.      
    • I think it was more amazement that anyone uses cheques on a large enough scale anymore for it to be an issue.    Are cheque books even issued to customers by banks anymore? That said government institutions seem to be one of the last bastions of this - the last cheque I think I received was a tax rebate in 2016 from HMRC.  It was very irritating.
    • I know you have had a couple of rather condescending replies, advising you to get to grips with technology and live in the modern world. I sympathise with you. I think some of us should try to be a bit more empathetic and acknowledge not everyone is a technophile. Try to see things from a perspective that is not just our own. Also, why give the banking sector carte blanche to remove any sort of human/public facing role. Is this really what we want?
