    Two of my Golden Girls brought me flowers today and their dad brought a beef stew. An hour's chat on the doorstep, freezing cold but so enjoyable

              Currently i take great happiness from sitting at my breakfast bar in the kitchen, looking out into the garden and seeing the Robin that likes to sit on the fence.

                  Since the latest software upgrade, the alarm on my tablet no longer goes off at 0705 every day ;-)
                  It’d been doing it for over a year, regardless of whether or not I had actually set the alarm, so is a great relief!

                    LD in the house.

                    I sometimes feel like Mother Goose. Got to keep my goslings close. Mr Bones looks like he's got away. But I still live in hope of Rary turning up again.

                        Got to spend over 4 hours on the plot today, emptied out one of the compost bins with an audiobook from the library playing in my ears. Bliss!

                              Kestrel.

                              Went in to see Mr Snoop to offer him a cup of coffee and there was a kestrel sitting on our window ledge not 40 cm from his head. It was looking out over our fields and paid no attention to either him or me. I got very close (20 cm) and I'm guessing it must have seen me as I got a good look at its feathers, eyes, beak and talons. What a beauty. A male. I thought he might have been suffering in the cold or had perhaps flown into the glass and was stunned. But one of our dogs down below spotted it and barked and it flew off. Lovely sight.

                              I'm guessing it was the kestrel that flies up and down our valley. It has developed a hunting trick I've not seen in birds like this before: when the small birds settle down to roost at night, it lands in the trees, forcing them into the air and making it easy to pick at least one off. Very sad to see but obviously very successful as a technique. I've seen seagulls in Barcelona do this, harrying pigeons on ledges and balcony railings to get them into the air so they can be more easily caught. But never kestrels.
