Hi We have a regular visitor when the back door is open, cheeky Blackbird comes in and eats cat biscuits from the cat's bowl Silly old moggy just watches him although I do fear it he may one day lose patience seeing his food being gobbled up Could the biscuits do the bird any harm? they are...

Have I seen? UK, Cambs Today whilst out walking I saw a large bird of prey, it appeared to be predominantly grey with some black on the wings. I have gone through the two books I own and seems it might have been a Hen Harrier Could I expect to see this bird in Cambs at this time of year or at...
