Awful things now. They were adorable back when we had The Tuffty Club. Anyone remember that?
Well I still love them. And I was in the Tufty Club

Cracking that mate.
You're not in the UK are you
Those little critters have probably been living alongside each other for centuries 
Saw my first Swallows today, and the bluebells are fantastic.
Mine are down to one too , not cats though.... Filthy magpies

Yes. A balance of nature needs to be restored. Reds gave co existed with pine martens but greys have less defences. No idea if they can be effectively introduced into areas.

I've not seen any yet. There is a farm I cycle past on my way to work and that is usually where I spot them. My Strava always has comments saying when the first swallows are seen. I'm not cycling at the minute so I'll miss that this year.
Any updates

We have nine eggs. Over the past few days she’s been out and in again, but today she’s been mainly in. I reckon we are close to hatching.
There’s a bloke on YouTube who has a blue tie cam and they laid their first egg on the same day as us and they hatched today.

Heard 2 cuckoos ( might have been the same one twice) on Saturday which is a bit late apparently.
Lovely noise imo even if they are the shithouse of birds

Never seen a red one in the wild. Apparently they are being very successful in breeding programmes in Scotland, hoping they will spread south.

saw one in belsay. reintroducing them is fine if the greys can be eliminated naturally.
