Evening all: Good turnout at the march today, although here in California (and especially Santa Barbara) protesters are mostly preaching to the choir. We heard short but good speeches from some young people and teachers from local schools and colleges. It's great to see young people so energized. Those kids from the Florida high school have really started something. Lots of calls for voting preregistration as many of them will vote for the first time in 2020.
Lindybird: Hope the baby pigeons survive this year.
Clare: Some beautiful markings on that bird. Congrats on finally spotting it.
Very springlike here today; must get into the garden tomorrow: The weeds are feeling entirely too self-confident and I have some salvia to plant while the soil is still nice and damp.
Hope things are better with Forestboar..... Also that OG has a good ride back from the festivities.
Take care everyone.
Good Morning, All. Dry here. My OH has gone off for his golf game: it's his birthday today and so I woke up in time to give him his present (clothes, as he never buys himself any). My birthday card was one with a half dozen young versions of Bonnie on the front - he had just opened sis in laws card which was exactly the same! Funny thing is, I saw the card last year and thought, "I won't buy that one, she will be sure to see it and get it....."
AQ -- Just whipped by your pics, going back now for a good look.
Morning, Lindy. EJ is on the nest and looking her usual Beautiful self!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thanks for the tip, Clare!
OG just done some catching up. How dreadful for you all. Hope you and family have recovered from the trauma.
This was shown to me this morning as a pic I took in the garden on this day in 2012:
Oh, heck, where's it gone???
LotL's Laddie has returned!
Brilliant news, Clare. I saw them both when I visited LotL last year, so delighted they are back together again.
DIANE- thank you! I'm not very clever at these things but my son or eldest son in law will sort things out. I heard a family rumour that I am getting a new tablet thingy from them, this Christmas:-)
Heather - you'll soon have so many thingys that you'll need another one just to keep a database of what you do on each of them!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
