Wondering if there's sufficient interest on here to keep a thread going on what wildlife we've come across during the day, out on the bike, in the garden, from work, whatever.Recent encounters for me were a ladybird on Sunday and a sparrowhawk on my way to work yesterday.

For those who have migrated from the Bkool platform to Zwift. Feel free to drop onto bkool chat just remind those what they might be missing out on . Only good mannered banter

Ok,i'll start off. Can you put cheese in a casserole? I've made a casserole,or a stew whatever you want to call it. I have a few small blocks of cheese which need eating soon before they go off. I'm thinking about putting some cheese into the thing. As i post i don't expect many,if any replies at this time of night,but for future reference is it ok to do so? 🤔
