In the northern hemisphere, we have been having some strange weather over past weeks and often with some strong winds, unusual for this time of year.  It is easy to fall into a false sense of security thinking the weather is fine, but don’t be caught out.

Some of you might have aviaries that are partly protected with sheeting, which may well be the victims of high winds if not sufficiently secured.  It can be amazing what force a light to moderate wind can have on a large sheet – remember how yachts sail?  Apart from your aviaries becoming vulnerable, you don’t want tin or plastic sheets whizzing over your neighbour’s gardens!
