    Really pleased that they return year on year to this shrub, as that's precisely why I planted it. There were tow of them competing for the territory this morning.

    Great photos!

    I must think of getting that type of Mahonia for my new garden!

    Would love to have Blackcaps again!

    I will be very near Clumber Park (9 miles) and Idle Valley Nature Reserve is beside Retford

    Not too far from Bempton Cliffs either, so a good place to stay if you are going there! You would always be very welcome!

    Thanks Catherine, will almost certainly be heading up to Bempton this year, I have friends who live on the coast just below Bridlington in Hornsea and it would be nice to drop in on the way up there. Youare also only 35 miles from Blacktoft Sands, one of the best reserves in the Country.

    I didn't realise that!

    I am due to move in late April or mid May!
