I almost forgot to mention, Spring is here.
Male moles making straight runs searching for mrs mole.
Birds pairing up, singing and courtship dancing.
GS Woodpeckers drumming on the trees to attract a mate.
And the first queen wasp flying about outside this morning.
Oh and the hob ferret is exercising his anal glands (nice)
All we need now is some decent weather!
Anyone else noticed? |

Can't say as I've noticed too many moles, mate ..... 
No, about a week ago now I did recognise a Gray Crow was announcing his forthcoming ownership of a local stand of trees. The Magpies too are starting to reappear now and get active.
All to do with the lenghening days, obviously. Because it's still damn cold and pretty bleak all round, over here, yet.
But, yeppers: Can't help but notice the signs. They're coming back.
Lock and load, gentlemen! Lock and load...

Bloody global warming
Parts of UK seem ripe now for the introduction of subterranean termites

Shall we take that as a curse Dusty ?
Global warming? No all perfectly normal for the time of year. |

Spot, only if you leave treating the termites to some other trade like you do with wood worm.
Lots of money to be made from termites

The oystercatchers are moving inland again up here, a sure sign of spring around the corner.
The only queens I've seen this year are some girls with beards in the pub. |

| Dusty, I'm happy to treat woodworm but I take your point about PCOs generally. |
