Mary and I are just back from a sortie into the wilds to inspect Maeve & TL's new home. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and making good use of the various feeders put out for them, the daffodils were in full bloom and the blackfly were out in droves.

Mary was given a walk around the estate while I stayed away from the blackfly, in the comfort of the new nest, which is surprisingly roomy for a trailer. It has a slide out, which gives a lot more room, and Maeve & TL have obviously worked hard to make it 'home'. They have done a really good job at that - it is a lovely dwelling.

They will be connected to power tomorrow and are looking at getting a phone line installed. Right now both of them look so much more comfortable, being back on site and able to do whatever is needed to the land without having to travel. It really is good to see them blossom like this.
