Unfortunately, the black redstarts themselves don't seem to know that... it's surely only a matter of time. <br />As for the snack bar, it operates during weekday working hours but my own experience would suggest you shouldn't bet tempted by their fine food.Jon Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322963514881326762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763430959732035545.post-35446145590627210772009-10-31T12:58:16.216-07:002009-10-31T12:58:16.216-07:00Hi Jon, it's Ray here again.
