The Christmas Bird Count went well. It was a very chilly day, but it was well worth it. The woods were so quiet in some places.


There was a wonderful moment when 600-700 Canada Geese flew overhead.
These are just a few of them.





Two kestrels were the highlight of the day (for me, anyway) although I have no photos of them. It was so much fun, I hope to go again next year.

Where have I been? ......
I can think of two verses to desribe what the last 3 years have been like.

"Pussycat, Pussycat
Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been? I've been to London to visit the Queen. Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there? I frightened a little mouse under her chair. "

- Well, even if I haven't gone back to London yet - it describes how I feel, and so does this one;

"The Owl and the Pussy-Cat by Edward Lear
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five-pound note. ......
...
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon."










Hope you like the pictures, I am planning to be on a Christmas Bird Count tomorrow.

Tempus Fugit...
I've been pretty busy of course. I'll start with some pictures until I feel more like talking about it.
