It is mystifying, I would have thought that if there was a predator about the new pair wouldn't have moved in. We get fond of our little visitors and worry about them, must be our maternal instinct.
I think something scared them off - now and then we have had a sparrow hawk in the area, and we've had some magpies, which have been known to raid their nests.
I'm sure you are right about the maternal instincts.
I've just succumbed to temptation looking up a new author I came across a short story anthology with one of her stories in and lots of other authors I like. It's only available on CD but the clincher is there's a story by Milly Johnson, couldn't resist.

Sometimes, resistance is futile.
Evening Moonie.
How's the hay fever tonight?
Apart from my problems with the baby starling, I've had a good weekend, thanks. Mr Yogi watched the Grand Prix while I read a book and then we had a nice roast dinner.
What have you been up to?

baby starling? What's happened there then?
Sounds like a good weekend to me
I haven't done much. I woke up with runny eyes this morning. I think a touch of hayfever so even though it was sunny all day I never went out 
Youngest son has phoned to say he's popping up for a visit - does that boy not realise the time?!
Anyway, I better sign out and go put the kettle on. See you tomorrow everyone.
For Moonie and Summer.

Sorry Moonie, I've got to run but the starling saga is on the previous page.

Okay. I will go see
Nitey nite. Try not to throttle your son 
well done for trying to help him, if only we could talk to them to explain that we're trying to help! Moonie I hope your hayfever symptoms have eased off it's a horrid thing I too believe there's an asthma/hayfever/allergy/eczema link, I've suffered them all at various stages of my life! I was asthmatic as a child but grew out of it, then started getting hayfever and skin problems, which were pretty much cured when I went for food allergy testing, and now I'm mostly ok but get the occasional burst of eczema if I eat too much of the foods that I'm not supposed to. Healthy eating usually helps clear that up I'm late in because after an afternoon nap, housework and a workout, we decided to go out for tea. Then we decided to get SIL & BIL to join us.. It was a lovely evening Sweet dreams all see you tomorrow 
P.S. el, your maths joke was funny 
are you in the manor?!
It's good so far thank you how are you feeling now? well done for trying to help him, if only we could talk to them to explain that we're trying to help!

I had an afternoon nap too which lasted till 8-30
Good morning everyone. It's raining here.
Lovely night owl family, Summer and I'm glad you had a nice evening out.
It's good that you have found out what triggers your eczema and can keep it under control.
Moonie, that was a marathon afternoon nap you had!
My son only stayed for 15 minutes. It turned out he'd been to the cinema with some mates from the village and thought he'd just pop in for a flying visit.
Have a good day everyone and I hope your weather is better than mine.
Good morning everyone, a lovely morning but very breezy. I haven't looked at the weather forecast in case there's rain on the way, I am enjoying the blue sky.
Bet it was still good to see your son, even though it was a flying visit Yogi, nice to know he was thinking of you both.
I hope everyone slept well we had a nice long lay in, it's nice to have an extra day off work The cheerful pics from Squiggle and Summer have brightened up a dreary day (weather wise).
Squiggle, I did wonder how much we would see youngest son when he moved out, as he works hard and has a busy social life, and he used to tease his two brothers about how often they still visit us. However, I'm glad to say, he is a regular visitor and has even stayed over a couple of nights when he has had "boys nights out" with his mates from the village.
Mr Yogi jokingly calls them 'the boomerang boys', because they keep coming back but we wouldn't want it any other way.
I've been taking advantage of the fair weather here (though it is quite windy) to cut my hedge at the front. My green wheelie is now almost full Leylandi hedging, but not tall, and an attractive scent when cut.
Well done on getting your hedge cut, El. I'm afraid there's no chance of me getting any gardening done today.
they must like coming back!
El I bet your garden looks really nest now you've cut the hedge mr summer got our grass cut yesterday, the lawn looks lovely today Good morning everyone. It's raining here.

Good afternoon Yogi
It was indeed a marathon nap. I paid overnight though. Hardly any sleep, just tossed and turned. I blame Sweet Bless Flying visits are good, sometimes 
Have a good day. See you later

I sympathise with you on your sleepless night, Moonie.
If you feel like a nap this afternoon, set your alarm clock so you don't sleep so long.

It was my own silly fault Yogi I should never have napped in the first place. If I feel like a nap today I will go out for a walk
they must like coming back! El I bet your garden looks really nest now you've cut the hedge mr summer got our grass cut yesterday, the lawn looks lovely today Maybe they like my cooking.
