Thanks for the profile comment he's keeping the peace.:D
Its the same here with the skylarks lots about but they fly so high you don't stand a chance and with the buzzards..
Changed profile photo to show me and NOD who sadly passed away yesterday.He was found dead in his field,he was 38 years old................RIP Nod,will be missed
Now that thought has given me a huge belly laugh - I could see her pebble-dashed in my minds eye but looking like David Dickenson - now that is funny.... If I lived nearer ellen i'd come round to watch (and bring my mother - now that would be chaos). I got back from my overnighter at the caravan to find mam hadn';t eaten any of the food I put in the fridge for her to help herself to - couldn't be easier - little bowls of salad and dips and quiches - pots of this and boxes of that - just need emptying onto a plate - but no. Course I hit the roof - I screamed and shouted and wept from frustration - and I might as well not bother. I keep on about her landing up in hospital - its the last thing I want as I know how miserable she will be - but its head and banging ........
Had a couple of days and a night at the caravan again on Ians days off ........ We had permission to moth on a South Cumbria Reserve - but the tempt went too low and too clear - it was freezing and nothing much was moving - a couple of Clouded Drabs - we gave in at 10.30pm - frozen stiff! Ian had luck photographing the badgers and I heard and saw a Woodcock roding right over my head and heard my first Cuckoo - what a strange place - mossland at dusk - still I suppose there are plenty of 'pippity-larks' as Ian calls them - for the cuckoo to predate .........
