Thanks ALAN, I thought they must have worked out a way of eating them as they seem to keep trying.
Apparently on a worldwide scale Crayfish form a large part of the Heron's diet. But I'm not sure whether our Grey Herons are up to an American Signal Crayfish - it may just be the larger Herons that can manage them!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
ALAN great Heron pic, and LINDY would't want to meet that biker on a dark night.
BRENDA Sorry to hear of your mishap with a biker. Glad you are still here to tell the tale.
ANNETTE Took a lovely afternoon cruise on Jacobite Queen some years ago.
Glad to see it is busier here today.
LINDY Sorry to hear your car has been vandalised. Some years ago OH was working for a charity and returned to our car after an overnight stint only to find someone had keyed down the door and wing. Makes you so mad, doesn't it?
Off to give Dillon his final walk of the day.
dibnlib: The car had been 'swiped' by another one as they pulled out of the parking space. Dont know who did it but there was no-one next to me on either side when I left it, and a black car in the space on the right where the white paint had been left on our wing. Our car was keyed all down one side once when parked in a street - it was an old car but a swishy looking model, even though we had not paid a lot for it as she was getting elderly. Yes, we were very annoyed at the time.
Heather - nice story about your going on the boat at your OH's daughters wedding party. Sounds wonderful. Thanks for keeping us in the picture about Margo's situation.
Diane: See that you are still waiting for the end of the disastrous tree story. I do hope there's a Happy Ending. Also see that you're now making friends with snakes and other critters on your land!! What next? "Lions, Tigers, and Bears???" ;-))
Must go & watch some programme we missed whilst away, with my OH who is waiting for me to leave the keyboard!! 'Bye for now!
Hello again
Margo's OH has just given me an update. Margo is still in hospital, quite weak but at least she is eating and drinking which she had been unable to do before admission. No more bleeding but potassium levels are low. I have passed on all your good wishes and Margo's OH says Thank You from both of them.
Thanks for that, Heather - it's great that you're keeping her in touch with us all. Please give her our best when you speak to her OH next.
