Dove on her second nest of the year just feet from my back window. She sits there unfortunately probably ignorant of the fact that her mate got collared by a wretched cat in the garden this morning. A disgrace that moggy owners will not take responsibility and keep their killers under control. No doubt if I killed the cat there'd be all hell let loose.
Nice clean collar on this White Wagtail at St Mary's Island on Sunday, one of a few passing through the county last weekend.
One observation I heard on the consequences of building c.800 homes next to Gosforth Nature Reserve would be a statistically likely population of c.300 cats as a result. Have to attempted to tell a cat owner that their pet is apart of the population of the deadliest predator of wildlife in the UK?
