That Time of Year

Seems it’s that time of year when all the froglets come into the house . . .

And another. One of this year’s brood came right in by the house, not yet bothered by humanlike things and their strange doings.

The flock have been sticking aound late in the morning recently, perhaps because the children are growing, but especially on grey drizzly days like today.

A goose flew over the fence the other morning, beaked around a bit, and flew back when a van approached.

Another Bird in the Hand

(This is the last article listed on this page.  Skip to page navigation.)

Sooty
Sturnus vulgaris zetlandicus, a bit soot-stained

Another one. This one, as so often, in the stove. Not sure how long it was there, probably less than a day. A bit more cantankerous than the last, and a bit sooty. (These two things may be related.) You’d think birds would have the sense not to fly down a dark reeky hole, but then it’s been so warm this year that even in mid-December we haven’t had the fire on. I suppose we should light it if only to make it smell a bit more daunting.
