Poachers again :-(
(Preview)
Well, after poachers running round on a quad last night, and leaving some gates open, whereupon sheep got out again, the farmer has said next time hold, block the lane, call plod, and have them done for armed trespass.

When do you have more success? By me it seems like the birds fly later when it is sunny. On cloudy days they fly most of the day. Does this sound right?
