Tough wee birds those spugs

That's odd,  I've checked the moderation log and nothing has been deleted.

We are having the roof and its drainage completely redone and the house is surrounded by scaffolding with a three man squad clambering about.

Near the driveway is a movement triggered lamp over which I had put a small mesh guard as pigeons had taken a fancy to that as a nest ledge. The sparrows moved in and have been there throughout the year for several years.

Despite the noise and foot traffic and old slates being hurled into a skip 10 feet away the nest is a hive of activity with the birds seemingly entirely oblivious or perhaps completely determined to get on with it!

The scaffolding is being used as fresh perching. See photo 2 below of nest lamp and sparrow by the spar with yellow paint.
Well done the sparrows.

I bought the python a few years back was definitely worth the investment.

I think the deformed spine has evolved over time. The lump on the front of the face seems to be going down now. I've had the neons close to 3 years now.

The two 18" tanks are set up as quarantine tanks for now, probably they will be used for breading eventually. No frills, no plants at the moment, just some clean terracotta pots for hideouts.

The filter sponges are inside my canister filter being bacterially  conditioned.

Jon's plants are really taking off now and the neons are growing fast! They love brine shrimp.

Tight lines, let us know how you get on.

I watched it - very good!
