Problems with the Neighbours

No we have not fallen out with Jean-Jacque and Nadine, these neighbours are of the feathered variety. It would seem that we now live in the middle of a housing development and a number of the residents do not want to live in harmony. We have no trouble with the "smaller" residents, although some, like the Nuthatch, play their music too loud from dawn to dusk - but what can you say.

However, Mr and Mrs Magpie, Mr and Mrs Kestrel and the old couple Mr and Mrs Jay have decided that they all live too close and are always squabbling.  The "old couple" down the alley are always grumbling and don't want anybody else near their property.  Mr Magpie (aka Bob the Builder) has got a lot of work on and just wants to get on with it without interference from the neighbours. He spends all day searching for enormous twigs which he delivers home for "Mrs" to carefully arrange. 

The Kestrels have returned to their summer home - in our wall. But.... she's got a fancy man, and it's "three in a bed"!! We need to bring out the binoculars to watch developments.

The resemblance to classic Soaps is uncanny. We have a grandstand view of the "goings on" and it is both fascinating and humorous.
