Great shot of a Grey Wagtail Woo.:thumb: Don't see any around here , only Pied and Yellow.

I use a circular flat tray that hangs from the tree, like mesh, so you get drainage.( got it from the garden centre) They dont last long though, the robin and the male blackbird polish them off in no time. Glad we dont have starlings too, otherwise I'd have to take out a secong mortgage to pay...

after lasts years success, 2 birds are back and busy making repairs to the nest, lets hope they have another good year! At last I feel as though summer is here!
