BIrds

 Another lovely day, but a bit cool. We had a good frost last Saturday. Eddie was going into work to clean the truck, so he moved the ford into the sunshine to defrost it before he went.

It’s my last day in the office last Monday. It’s been quiet and no dramas, so I am pleased about that. Louise and the family had a lovely break.

Mike the groundsman had his 70th birthday last Saturday. He had a party in the afternoon. We had a nice meal mid afternoon, so we didn’t need tea that night. Eddie had a leftover sausage roll and I was going to eat a banana, but never got to it. I woke up in the early hours of Sunday morning feeling a bit hungry, but I managed to go back to sleep, so it obviously wasn't too bad. I did enjoy breakfast in the morning though.

There are a lot of birds here. Along with the herons there are black back gulls, red and black-billed gulls, terns, kingfisher, dotterals and shags. They are often seen sitting on poles along the riverbank or at the little wharf.

I think the terns that we have living here are caspian terns. I like their little black hats. I got this photo of the internet.
