Everyone know the one about the bird, the fox and the cow-pat?

Good essay from the BBC.

Oh my goodness! As I posted earlier, that is just about enough sadness for the season! WHAT are people thinking who do this... or not!

Oh dear. Poor little Jupiter! That will be just about enough sadness for this season, thanks!
 

When I was in Rochester in April, this is where I disappeared to! My route from the bridge.

Never were so many U-turns attempted near the Rundell Library at the time!! As I wandered along one-way streets, not knowing which way was which, I decided I would just "talk Irish" at anyone who questioned my progress.

Oh, my goodness! Bobbie does like these pix!!! How lucky can you get!!

Slainte!

Great job, Anne, and thanks for all your great fledge watch reports! 

For sure! Well done, Anne! Very vivid, every time.

Harlequin practice her wings.

Good luck, Little Girl!!!

What a beauty! They sometimes make it to our shores, but I have never had the privilege.

Not sure what I think of captive raptors, but this is interesting.

Oh my goodness!

For a bit of a break - some lovely images from the BBC and the British Spring (Ireland did not have one. It is not having a summer either).

I'm really shocked about the lack of feedings there. RM and Tiago, it doesn't sound like them. I guess only they know the reason for all this. Hope today is much better and little Cinni gets some good intake. Maybe Sunshine gloms it all when they try to take it to him. You know how big sister's are!! Thanks Anne.

Oh dear re that, Donna! We will all be fussing now.

Looking forward to more reports, Patti and Carol. Those babies have chosen good foster-moms.
 

Hopefuly Jackie will be on site soon and P-S will be safely back under the eye of her concerned parents.
