It should be a good season for him as he puts the time and effort in that's required for success.

Hopefor the best but expect the worst.

Nonetheless, a great start! You Beeeudy!!
When dealing with living things, keep a pensive but hopeful attitude !!!

Thanks guys :D :D
Went out with Mattymeischke this morning and came away with 17 takeaway containers of frozen termites - great stuff!!! :D first time using my Mighty Termitinator - works an absolute treat!
Cordon seems territorial enough, chased away a few redbrows just now... He seems to be sizing up to take a shot at the doves!

Good Luck Jay...I found when breeding Cordons very insectivorous up to about 10 to 12 days then they don't quite feed as much insects.... :thumbup:

Thanks VP :D
Also, I just found what (I think) is a redbrows nest - its in plain sight, something to be said for missing the obvious!!!
