@prettypennyuk I use for my cash emergency fund. Used to have it in a normal savings account, but moved to trading212 as rates were better.

Anyone good on #batID? This one flew into our lounge tonight.

@peediepuss @iancbeavis @BrennanMartine It’s actually pretty symmetrical- albeit bits have broken which makes it look asymmetrical. This is a view from another angle.

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@iancbeavis @BrennanMartine Thanks guys. Perhaps it will stay a mystery. I thought perhaps it was small mammal or bird as we live rural Devon. But perhaps it’s could have been collected and discarded from a beach. We live 40 min drive from coast.

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@iancbeavis Thanks Ian. Guess it could be a shell, if someone collected it from a beach and dropped it. We do live 40 minutes from the beach. We live in rural Devon amongst farmland.

@iancbeavis Hi Ian - not sure on your knowledge on bones (or know anyone who might know), but found this in my garden any ideas what it belongs to? (I'm assuming it's bone). It measures 20mm across.

@hbkeenan @WeberBarbecue @WeberGrills My claim has gone through successfully - says 3-4 weeks for payment

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@hbkeenan @WeberBarbecue @WeberGrills Did you manage to get cashback without providing the barcode?

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@WeberGrills Yeah found it thanks. Strange system for cashback. As it’s lucky as nearly missed the box being taken by bin men. How come serial number on BBQ itself and VAT receipt isn’t sufficient?

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@hbkeenan @WeberBarbecue @WeberGrills Thanks Helen - I managed to find it. Luckily just before the bin men took the packaging! Strange system, as I could have easily got rid of box.

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@hbkeenan @WeberGrills did you ever find the bar code? I'm having the same issue!

[Simon Webber @miteman]

Four Great Tit chicks doing well - but they also have a robin helping with the feeds! Seen this on @BBCSpringwatch before. Perhaps her chicks have fledged.

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@katemacrae @WildLifePaul hey Paul or Kate - I have a Great Tit making a nest this year, but this Blue Tit keeps visiting, have either of you experienced this? (perhaps the same blue tit from last year?)

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@urbanponds101 Lovely stuff - couple of questions -
what's the water plant in that first pond?
And where do you get Galvernized containers like that?

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@urbanponds101 Hey looking good - it's my first spring for my wildlife pond - saw a newt for the 1st time yesterday, it was about 2-3 inches, is that fully grown?

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@_JoelAshton Hey Joel or anyone, going into my 1st spring with my Joel style pond. Had some digging around the roots of my marginals. Any idea of culprit? Initially thought a bird, but 1 hole tunnels too deep for a bird? We thinking rodent, perhaps rat? But why around the roots?

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@WildLifePaul @katemacrae So update on this - the great tit has laid two eggs, but the blue tit is still visiting! 😁

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@WildLifePaul @katemacrae oh really - that's interesting. I was actually referring to the nuthatch v blue tit. But you never know with nature.

[Simon Webber @miteman]

@katemacrae @WildLifePaul Ah ok. Only one winner between those two I’d imagine!
