Barry is in Essex. Where are you?

I'm in the Bolton area. I've just realised that there don't seem to be any
collared doves around either, and there are usually a zillion of them
hanging around. Starlings aplenty, though.

But there are 3 cats next door, and I've just finished scraping up cat s*#t
(a full bag's worth) from my borders, so I suspect they might be causing the
lack of birds. Grrr!
