Advice required from OcUK twitchers

Just an update on our Housemartins. I'm glad to say they are back and are busily building themselves a new nest! Ironically we'd bought an artificial one from the RSPB and I was about to put it up knowing they would be back any day now. It seems it's no longer required.

Wait until they're asleep, then quietly transfer the whole family to your anus.

Keep them safe and warm until the work is done, then transfer back in the dead of night.

Why did I laugh.

Snot all over!

I did this for a hedgehog I found left in the road. It was uncomfortable but I felt I was doing my part keeping that little critter warm while he regained his strength.

Removal's the tricky part as the spines are pointing the wrong way.

Depends which way you insert.

Excellent news. You'll have to take some pictures.
