Has been very quiet on the job front over the summer but I'm starting to see it picking up a little. Hopefully I'll find something soon... maybe.  Yes, rather wet here too - I'd seen on the weather forecast last night we might get a little patchy very light stuff in Essex but it's been constantly raining all day - one of the young Sparrows in my garden is looking rather sluggish  and puffed up, I think she may be struggling with the cool and wet conditions. It was the same when there was a cold and damp couple of days a little while back, I lost a sparrow then too. Considering I've had up to 80-100 birds in the garden there have been relatively few casualties over the last year.</blockquote>
