Just now I have seperated all my birds as they are heavy in the moult , Im concentrating on a complete scrub down thats removing all nest boxes . This warm spell helps to dry the lofts out quickly. The next job is to cocentrate on the outside with a coat of paint. I dont let my bird out at this time of the year due to the heavy moult makes them easy prey to bops . I have noticed in the last few weeks a lot of small garden birds have moved into the gardens around me The wee robin has been away all summer, now he is back claiming his territory , On checking my Y/Bs 24 bred 6 brought in all raced 2/3 races 20 left , none of the 10 missing reported all had phone rings on???? Looking forward to a couple of shows keeps me ticking over the winter.
