Well this is exciting, isn't it? Welcome to the Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? shed. Have a seat. Mind the binoculars – I'll be needing them. And try not to sit on any fledglings.
This is just a short introductory post to say a massive THANK YOU. You lot are the early adopters, the vanguard, and you have no idea how much it means to me that you've chosen to support this book.
That's really all for the moment. There will be lots more to come here in this surprisingly comfortable shed. Settle in and make yourselves comfortable. Meanwhile, have a picture of some avocet chicks. You've earned it.
