I think I made a mistake. It wasn't a Spuggy but a Northumbrian Red Kite with a massive wing span and they love preying on dogs. :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-)

Art'noon GinN, GP, LaG and Island. Phew - I'm exhausted from cleaning up before my cleaner comes :-D She comes once a fortnight for a couple of hours and I give her the dirty jobs I hate, like cleaning the oven, which she's doing to-day.

I've never heard of Spuggies of Spadgers, but I've got loads of sparrows in the privet hedge in my front garden and they don't 'arf make a racket. I can't see any nests in there, so I don't know what they're up to :-S Sparrows don't nest in hedges do they?

I've got a little wren nesting in a box on the back of the house, but I hardly ever see it. Usually early in the morning. I also have a little friendly robin who follows me round the garden when I'm digging. It even followed me into the greenhouse the other day and had a peck around.
