The fucker had the dog wound up at 6 this morning flappin about like pingu on a night out, worked its way from the eaves to the loft, flapping about like mental..... have left the loft hatch open as it faces the lav window ( also open... ) and am about to take the dog out for a drag and see it a birds attraction to daylight pays off...
