  1. I saw that yesterday morning...
    but any video on this 12yr old Dell laptop is a no-no...
    so having this post available means I can watch in on my real computer...
    I loved the expressions on the birds mugs...
    especially the one they chose for the "still"...
    looking craftily round the window frame...
    just needed some horn-rimmed, half-frame specs to complete the look!
    The LPO have recently extended their "Refuges" scheme to include balconies...
    wouldn't these have been wonderful to include...
    I do, however, draw the line at Ring-necked Parakeets...
    we used to get them at the allotments in Leeds...
    one of them had a chunk out of one of our apples...
    needless to say the best!!
    Couldn't see the top until it was picked...
    and there it was...
    a large, parrot-bill-shaped gouge out of the upper surface...
    have a good w/e's birding...
    we are off to an LPO count at Le Louroux...
    a very large lake between us and Tours...
    famous for its overwinterers.

    How are your fingers?? Be careful...
    you take good pix...
    you need those fingers...
