Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A whole 'murder' of Jackdaws in the road outside the house today. I presume that is the right noun as they are a part of the crow family?

Well well the collective noun for Jackdaws is: clattering

Very apt :)

Four cormorants today, in flight as well as on the wires. Probably trying to warm up.

Most of those collective nouns were made up by some nutter. It is of course a load of bollocks (see what I did there?).

I saw a long-tailed tit out of my kitchen window v close up. Lovely. I suspect there were others with it as it flew off.

The great tit that roosts in the hole in the house opposite was watching me as I looked out of the same window. I walked off so it could go to its roost in peace.
