Kent, much sunnier than Scotland
It was absolutely dire here, just 9.43 generated and 7.79 exported, worst day since the 22 March.

And to add insult to injury I get home and find two seagulls trying to make a nest on my roof, between the solar panels and the ridge, all twigs and sticks all over my panels :mad: Thing is there is two rows of bird spikes along there, so they must have felt a spike or two!

So out with the ladders, gloves, bucket, hi-vis coat (figured they might not like bright colours) and up I go, and remove all the detritus, they must have been heavy smokers as there was at least four dog ends! Luckily I didn't get dive bombed!

No seagulls were harmed, and in the interest of bird safety, the materials were removed.

Fortunately my roof is fairly accessible, I get on to a ground floor roof, then secure a ladder into the corner and climb onto the main roof, which was a bit slippery, but its a valley between two right angle roofs which makes it easier, and concrete tiles, so nice and strong.

Lets hope they don't come back!
