Big thank you to Jimmy who is letting people into the garden for the Kilwinning Myrtle Warbler. Nearly £3,000 has been raised for North Ayrshire Cancer Care via his Just Giving Page. Top bloke!

Nice to see this Sandwich Tern today at Fairlands Lake Stevenage, an infrequent visitor to leafy Hertfordshire nowadays
