With Covid restrictions now being relaxed enough that we can pretty much go birding where we now fancy, the need for this Covid-19 garden lockdown thread has now ceased and it will shortly be closed.

I hope it afforded some a degree of enjoyment and perhaps help during the challenging past few months again and would like to thanks those who used it. Any future garden sightings should now therefore be directed to the 'garden birds' and garden wildlife' threads please.

With the best will in the world, let us hope that these threads never have to be revived!
