Some photos, hope you like them x
Are those Highland cows?
Yes they are 
Beautiful photos! I’ve always thought the Highland cows are the prettiest ones there are. Around here, we mostly just have Holsteins, and they’re not the least impressive.
And you’ve just reminded me – I need to nag my daughter to take me to the city zoo. Haven’t been there since the kids were little, and it’s improved a lot since then from what I’ve heard.
Busted … again
I just had another dose of the old Brainfog thread, where you went to India, hated the flight but had a good time until Mr Sue was unwell. Meanwhile Tracey & Carole were sticking pins in Voodoo dolls and AD was assessing locations for the Durer nation. I can not stop giggling. I know it brings bittersweet memories but sometimes it is good to remember the good bits. Cheers M

I do miss it so much. Miss him too much. Miss all of my foggy family. TDC (& Fezbomb), CWC, FB, you…
Moments of pure joy! Utter lunacy & mayhem.

Anyway, I’m shortly to be going on a short Stay/Seacation cruise. Sadly I think our cabin is on the wrong side of the 
to see the IOD while drinking gin on the balcony. Might have to go to a bar instead!!

have a brilliant time
Some more snaps ?
With the recent HOT weather here (and a Sparrowhawk) the birds have been scarse.
Now we have some wind and rain, they are visiting again!
these are older pictures (have not had energy to pick up the camera!) but represent some of the recent visitors
Pretty! What’s the red bird in the last picture?
Male Bullfinch (sadly out of focus) they are stunning vivid birds and tend to travel in Male Female couples. The bird on the right on the first picture is a female, very cute but a bit less vivid.
I just dont get the urge to come on here any more if I’m honest .
For me the changes on this site was a bit too much.
I feel its less personal, too cold, too much bling, it’s lost the warmth that the old site had.
If I visit once or twice a month then thats a lot these days.

Now that you’ve pointed it out, I can see the female, but apparently my eyes are worse than I’d thought. When I first looked at it, I thought the female was the same as the other bird!
I had never seen any colourful garden bird before we moved to Dorset in 2019, but I did remember books from my primary school
I am sure if I had posted a good quality image of the male and female together, you would notice the difference. Hope all good with you.

I’m slowly learning the difference between our birds. I have several blue jays that hang around. They’re considerably smaller than your jays, but are the biggest bird that comes to the feeder regularly. They’re pretty, but also loud and mean.
The hummingbirds have been showing up a lot over the last week or two. I don’t know if there are more of them or they’re just really hungry, but they’re drinking twice as much nectar as before. I’m still trying to get an actual photo of them!
