For the last month or so the site has been under constant bot attack. It seems to have been identified that the site was permitting posting without logging in and so every three minutes an automated post was being made containing one or more links to various poker or gambling websites. I have therefore had to disable anonymous posting on the site. I was hoping the attack would stop after a while but this has not happened. Please therefore register/login to post messages or comments on this site and the forums. I hope to change the system back to allow anonymous posting if/when these bot attacks end.

We came back today from a weekend away to find an egg in the nest box. I'd spotted Millie sitting in the box for a while before we left but wasn't expecting anything for several weeks as it's early for the local Barbu d'Uccles to lay, especially with all this cold weather. It's incredible she should instinctively know where to lay her very first egg!
