    Apparently I need to setup x3 fake nests and then in summer set up some traps, what else can I do?

    What it was doing up here on the 5th floor, I dunno.

    With a bit of jam instead of cheese?
    Same theory - they are containers with an attraction trigger that they get stuck inside, last year for me it was usually a glass of red-wine

    this year am going blue peter style to make a few like these with plastic waterbottles:

    Apparently snowdrops are out in force in the NE. Quite a few bushes/trees/plants are in bud already and the tulips and daffodils are sprouting nicely.

    Snow Drops and Crocuses in full bloom in S.Yorkshire. Grass doesn't appeared to have even noticed that it was supposed to stop growing.

    Ironically, a Coyote is faster than a Road Runner, so Wylie E didn't need to cheat. Dick Dastardly too, had the fastest car, he was always in the lead, stopped to cheat and ended up losing.

    But the bastards at the BBC have changed the weather from dry to wet for this morning since I went to bed.
    I do apologise to the bastards at the BBC. It's metcheck showing rain. Beeb's showing just one drop at 10am, so hopefully we'll be able to duck that one.

    In North Wales its full of Crocuses and daffodils. And Lambs.

    But also wind. A biting wind. And the usual rain.

    It was down the garden but quite clearly a butterfly.

    I think it was looking for flowers.

    Sadly it was out of luck.
