        Really strange about the BHG there were goods numbers only yesterday on Freemans?!

        I wonder if some predator had managed to get onto the island and spooked them all.

        Cheers

          Or a dog owner unleashed their dogs to have a “play in the water” as seen on Frog Pond this morning.
