      Oh no! :doh: Unless there's a moon the window/curtain trick won't work. There has to be light outside. It'll have to be a glass and a piece of card then. :biggrin:

              Thanks :) but I'm not so sure that's right @Zigs having checked it out on the web. The bird had a light coloured streak above it's eye.

                  The bird was beige and brown in colouring suggesting it may be female, whether a Wood Warbler I still can't tell Martin. I'll keep my eyes open for it over the next few days. :)

                              Hi S, he/she fluttered down on the decking , I had to move it I was working there, a very protective mum and dad :), birds are quite safe from cats in my garden ive made it hard work for cats to get in and out,

                              I think its from a nest next door, three chicks left the nest, I heard a commotion the other day and saw a sparrow hawk flying away with what appeared to be a blackbird, I can only see the parents feeding two, so the sparrow hawk probably took a chick,

                              I will keep my eyes peeled.
