Loved the waxwing photo. Have never seen them in a group in the wild. At our last house on the bank of a tiny river, surrounded by alder tree, we had a solitary semi tame waxwing who used to come into the garden regularly to be fed. It never seemed to have any companions. I wondered if it had once been an pet escapee. Pretty birds!

We don't get them every year, nor in huge numbers, but they are a welcome visitor and usually indicate that some cold weather is around on the continent.

Once again it seems we cannot attach things to this site, if you want to watch a half hour wildlife film, search youtube for my channel ..........................burnie maurins. I won't bother trying to post pictures on here anymore if they won't work. I also have a flickr site where the still images I have taken along with short videos can be found, hope you like them.

That's such a shame tigerburnie. Feels like the forum is being slowly closed down via the back door. What's the point of trying of identify plant diseases, unknown pests, insects etc and other gardening issues if you can't post photos of them. A picture is sometimes more effective than a thousand words.

I agree with that Primrose, pity but I think forums are seen as old hat now, yet this forum is a treasure trove of information that you would lose on a facebook or twitter platform, this is like an encyclopedia.

I miss hugely not being able to watch/see your links on here, Tigerburnie….I know I can watch them on youtube but, they had become a very welcome part of the forum and will be missed by many!!
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Test post to see if it works

and the answer to that is no, it says it cannot be found

To post an address that can be copied and pasted you've got to stop it abbreviating it with dots. I think you should be able to use this for instance as long as you highlight the whole lot before you copy.

But one like this you have no chance with
https://www.5-top.co.uk/slug-control?targeti ... kQQAvD_BwE
But if you take off the https: before you post it on here you get the unabbreviated link and copy and paste works, I hope!

Afternoon Tigerburnie,
Have you ever set up and used a wildlife trail camera?I am looking to treat myself to one to see what is visiting my back garden(probably mostly cats)and allotment.If so,what would you recommend(cheap!!!)as looking at them online I must admit I am confused by the technical jargon quoted by the various makers.

I’ve tried a wildlife camera to see what night visitors I had on my plot I was hoping to get both types wild and feral rats we have more than a few out allotment is in the roughest part of our town and I do mean rough ,the problem I found was the batteries it used 8 and they lasted one night I tried rechargeable ones but I seemed to spend my days charging batteries

Are the solar panel ones any better do you know? They still have back up 'normal' batteries as well I believe but I suppose where you place it is paramount. I'd really like one but like snooky it is well confusing deciding. I asked friends online & they rated the ones with the camouflage casing, but you have to take the stick home to download on your computer so you'd need a back up one of these for a start but I think they are pretty reasonable & have huge storage.
I look forward to the replies of preferred ones if anyone using them so I can filter out the several hundred others & just compare these as I would know they were OK.
Cheers
