I am up for the challange!
Got some 18 inch wavin pipes today 13 in all another 3 or 4 knocking around so I will nab them soon. Only 4 inch diameter -6 inch very scarse.
Good idea re the container at baltray. We will need somewhere to store stuff and shelter in inclement weather. Did you use tents last year, or just got wet?
Migrants are starting to arrive ( Birdtrack) so keep an eye out this weekend.
I have a pair of Collard Doves on week old chicks in the zoo and a Blackbird midway through laying her first clutch. Spring is here at last!
