12:1664933My back garden backs onto the tennis/netball courts so I am very glad you found the nest.
. I think we would have been in their patrol area.
I thought the science department is more appropriate.

18:3264993They actually do a great deal of good. They are a major predator of aphids, flies, caterpillars and clear away rotten fruit. They have a minor role as a pollinator and are themselves food for many birds.

21:0465018ohh dear... lots of them in the cherries over this way at the moment..
reason i said Art department is because from memory, room in the science lab is at a minimum and the art department have a bigger space..

He died quite quickly of alchol poisoning and I had to get another drink!
