    "The Dirt on Climate Change".

    It's a short film and the title gives the plot away.
    I haven't watched it myself yet but I'll stick it in here and it'll be a handy link for later.;)

    I only looked at the first half of that film I got bored when it moved onto the redwoods.
    It's mostly just about ways of saving and conserving water in California with carbon saving thrown in.

    Let us know if you watch anything interesting.

    Parents had the same last year. Bird tapping at the window and crapping on it too. They tried tying cd's on the inside and other things. In the end my dad set a rat trap on the window sill. After a few days there was a few feathers in the gone off trap and we never saw the bird again ...

    No flies or spiders (I cleaned it a couple of weeks ago and he's been attacking for 2 weeks or so so he surely has any spiders since that cleaned out :) ) The only cables near it would be for the electrics like lighting or sockets. Would that be enough SMN?

    I haven't a clue whether it would be enough or not.

    If it was me and it started doing it again I'd be very tempted to flick the main breaker switch off to see would it stop the phecker. Just for the scientific hell of it.

    Some temporary netting (bale netwrap) in front of the window might get rid of the bird. Once it flies towwards the net, the fear of getting caught up will scare it off.

    TBH it would probably get caught up in the netting in the early hours of the morning and unless your on hand to release it - sad end for the bird.

    Is there no mart that lists all stock prices online. Really the few listed are pointless. :(

    No milk in the house, and the lorry is gone.
    Coffee withdrawal symptoms setting in, so tried a spoon of Lamb Lac.

    Not great, to be honest ......

    It's hard to beat a reseed.
    Reseeded last autumn, grazed before winter. Two grazings this year.
    Last grazed 7 days ago. Not tight but still grazed. There was one grazing left tbh.
    And today.

    Wollah...

    Still need the 4wd on though.

    That's my dolerite mixed in to the soil and diluted seawater sprayed during the winter project.

    Still have to mind it from getting poached.
    It looks so far like it could be my best reseed yet.

    My perfect idea of a reseed would be dung spread on the sod then biochar spread on top. Plough that in.
    Then dolerite (basalt) spread and tilled in.
    Then possibly more biochar if it's been charged spread again although it looks like the biochar ploughed in might keep and stop any nutrients from leaching.
    Then lime and sow and fert and roll.

    This post will be looked back on in 20 years time and they'll say. That fella knew what he was doing. :p

    No difference between them except that abergain and aberchoice have superior quality. Sheep love it.

    Hard to know as the PPI keeps changing and the new varieties are placed higher now and the older ones will be phased out
