Allotments 4 All

The main predator of pigeons on our site is foxes - we do have a few cats so they can co-habit.

But we have so many foxes that they are pretty hungry - but sadly not hungry enough to take rats - which are presumably much more likely to fight back.

If your plot is in the country you probably have a lot less foxes then we do - hardly anyone in the cities has a shotgun and the foxes definitely know it - I would go further and say they wouldn't be bothered by city shotguns anyway because most of them are only used to rob post offices.

We do get the occasional kite or hawk but the crows tend to mob them, presumably to protect their carrion supplies - as they don't seem to bother the flying rats - sadly.

We even had a visit from a very beautiful and rare swallowtail hawk (we did report it to the RSPB) but despite its size the crows saw it off.

Cheers.

Haven't given up on retrieving the old photos, looks like a filesystem error on the old server, I am persevering.

And under where it says allotments4all at the top of the screen there should be an unread posts link?

Thanks

Thanks very much, Dan,for your hard work.
Some of the old photos for the seed circle are precious as they will be transferred to a database for ease of reference. Is there any chance of retrieval?
Have we lost the function for new posts since last visit?

Another issue is that I get a 'your session has timed out' every time I press the post button.  Then it suggests I post again and it works with the second click.  Not a big deal but slightly annoying having to click post twice. 

Yes thanks Dan, the new photos are fine.  Hope the old ones can be retrieved too.

Should be back online - an index had dropped of the database during a DB upgrade.

I know some photos are missing, but new are working,

Can you see the photos on this message

https://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf2.1/index.php/topic,83530.msg840305.html#msg840305

Still trying to work out where the missing are, and which are missing.

Glad it is back up and running, but photos still don't work.
