There are those who consider my blog a place for free advertising, I have stopped some, some are more persistent, just like the Pests we get in the Garden.
So let us use them to negatively advertise their cheap counterfeit junk.
Boycott counterfeit goods. People involved have been found to be linked to crime and the drug trade.

Baby? well there were 5 Eggs, 5 Hatchlings, I removed one dead a few days ago, then there were 3 alive, one of those was weak. That's nature.
The little fellow who made it sat at the hole in the nestbox looking round, I fetched my camera and focused, that was his signal to fly so the picture is of him sitting on a cross bar on the fence, his first flight was strong with a fine landing.
Next away will be the Tree Sparrows. Their domed nest is tight against the house wall in a tall Pyracantha. We have seen 3 wide open mouths through the entrance hole. It was difficult to get the light right for the photograph. The most visible mouth almost fills the entrance. What a demanding site for the parents.

The bricks in the photograph give an idea of the final size. The crop was down but keeping the plants and feeding them well was a good move in comparison to destroying them.
