    Hi daz and debs,

    Is this a follow on from the earlier video of the male & female? I seem to remember one before GC changed.

    If so, how wonderful. It must be the same pair with their little ones come back to see you & of course, now you've started feeding them there'll be no stopping them! They may even come up into your garden -???

    cheers
