Sparrowhawks have to eat too Pdoc and are much more interesting and beautiful than a pesky wood pigeon. We had a regular in our Belgian garden but the smaller birds always escaped into the twisted hazel next to the feeders.
It is sunny here now tho still cold in the breeze. I have been out helping to make decorative pots for the plant fair the garden club organises every April on the 3rd Saturday, even when it's Easter weekend. I shall be making 2 big cakes and a large batch of biscuits to sell at the refreshments stand. Our hosts for the day have chickens which live in a former pig sty with a large penned run. Our donkey shed will be just fine then when it's had a bit of a tweak.
On the whole, I think I'd rather a badger than a fox Liri. Glad you got your loo sorted islander.

I presumed that @punkdoc was making a factual description of the scene rather than expressing distaste ... he’s always seemed pretty au fair with the truth of ‘nature red in tooth and claw’

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Cant sleep either ... OH has abandoned ship and gone in the spare room .. I can’t get comfortable ... innards still a bit sore and for some reason all my bones ache 🙄

warm for Thursday and Friday here. I have to take next Sunday off, boo hiss and Hubby suggested we " go somewhere for the day" Stuck in traffic on Easter Sunday, I think not.
Oh no! Don’t go anywhere by car on Easter Sunday!!! Why not challenge him to produce a special picnic ... then you can enjoy it in the garden 😉
Or just give him a list of gardening chores and let him take his pick? He's finishing decorating the sitting room today and tomorrow so I ought not to grumble. No chance of getting him into the garden in this weather anyway.
