Jayburd - I've just mowed a couple of acres of that seeding "Panic veldt". Just left a bit to cut for the finches. And when you say the painteds are building again does that mean they've already fledged some chicks? Mine usually reuse the same nest.

Hey sam. Nope, what I THINK was a painted nest (may not have been) that I saw in the brush a while ago has been abandoned, and they appear to have built a new one. they seem to like this one though :) male was sitting in there all morning at the entrance basking in the sun.

The way they're going through it I might need to make it our new lawn!!!! :lol:
I'll let you know when I've cycled all the pots through as to how long it takes me to grow them back enough to put them back in...
