@WriterHannahBT But ... there are now around 5 pairs of sparrows, colonizing the roof cavities. Is there anything I can do? Have put up a new bird box that the sparrows could use, but they are ignoring it thus far...

@WriterHannahBT Dear swift lovers of the internet. I have noticed a set of sparrows building a new nest in my roof, where our swifts always nest. The sparrows occupy a different cavity ordinarily, but a set are moving in, carrying new nesting materials. the swifts are still on the nest...

There were many beautiful moments in 2025, but this was one of the most moving, in July in Shropshire.
After many years, I found the grave of Mary Gartside, and her real name: Martha Gartside.
With thanks to @SussexUni, @CLHLWR and many other supporters

@ae_stallings Isn't it amazing, how much he manages to leave in balance. I think it may be the skeleton key (ahem) to all ghost stories...

[Lucy J Powell @ljpowell0]

@beatricegroves1 Wow!!
