Yes I'm happy for him too. He is doing what he should be doing. He obviously hasn't forgotten me. He's not as much of a loner as I thought!
Today I went for a circular 2 mile walk all around looking at possible places a nest could be built, in the direction in which he'd flown. Not a trace! I came upon a colony of Rooks which have been there for many years, across the hill in the same direction about a mile away.
When there I called him and made our noises, just in case he'd joined forces with the colony. But no response. And none of their voices sounded like his. In fact when I was there they all scattered. I know he wouldn't have done. I moved on quickly after scanning for a few minutes, as I didn't want to disturb them feeding their young.
And no sign of a 'live Crow's nest' anywhere else! I have neck ache now! LOL
