Lesser lesson

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I don’t have much to say about today: it was cold and dark, and R and I – who had to spend the morning and the first half of the afternoon dealing with the kind of tedious, irritating domestic nonsense … Continued

Chocolate-headed Laughing Gull

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I was going to caption the image “scabby”, but decided that this would be unfair: it’s not the gull’s fault that I caught it mid-moult into its breeding plumage, and if we’re talking complexions, mine is nothing to write home … Continued

I got another weather surprise today, when a heavy rainstorm came through on what the forecast had promised would be a dry morning. Sigh. It was annoying, obviously, but luckily it didn’t disrupt any garden plans, because I had to … Continued

Shelter

The weather surprised me today, which only goes to show that I’m not as cynical as I think I am: after weeks and weeks of depression-inducing rain, all it’s taken to make me forget that this is what life’s like … Continued

Tarted up

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

“It’s amazing,” said R, “that they go to all this effort every year, tarting themselves up, just to get a girlfriend.” I fondly remember a YSL suit and some rather look-at-me ties that R used to wear back in the … Continued

Brambling

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

When I sat down in the bird hide at Hillers at lunch time today, a man I didn’t know turned his camera towards me and said, “Do you know what this is?” It was a very nice photo of a … Continued

Spiny

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

My first day responsibility-free, after a hectic weekend of child-wrangling… and it rained. Because of course it did. So I went to Hillers, where the hide was not only dank but unpleasantly cold – but at least I got a … Continued

Breakfast club

R had to have blood tests done in Stratford early this morning, and when I mentioned this to the Boy Wonder, giving him the option of either going out with Granddad early doors or meeting up with him for breakfast … Continued

B bounced awake at 7.30am, fully recovered from whatever it was that laid him low yesterday – though he was barely upright before announcing that he wouldn’t be eating any more cake. “That’s OK,” I said. “It’s your cake, so … Continued

Marshy

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

Having consulted all my weather forecasts this morning, I concluded that the best of the available conditions were likely to be found north-east of the Shire, so I made a return visit to Brandon Marsh. Which was… marshy. The five-hides … Continued
