Blackbird radio is on full blast here in New Zealand’s spring Arctic Circle Cartoon - For the Birds September 14, 2023 I’ve seen a lot of plastic in nests around where I live. Plus fibre stolen from my hanging baskets. My first editor, Brendan Burford, is a bird watcher. I’m more of a bird listener, though I like it when they hang around the studio. Not so much when they are in the garden, uprooting young seedlings in the search of worms.
