Watching the birds fly South

[DimPrawn]

I've seen some cracking t1 ts at the airport on the way to Lanzarote.

"head and tail rise " - my favourite. invariably indicates a taking fish

that was a gentle head and tail rise scots.

maybe with future rises in temperature we will be looking out for more european species.

that may be so oh, but we get loads of scandanavian avians including redwings & fieldfares. saw lots of f/fares yesterday in fact and i do get redwings in the garden.

on the same theme, there has been a lot of snow recently, which over the past couple of days has retreated back upwards a few hundred feet. this leaves a lot of things like ptarmigan and mountain hares who venture below the snowline visible for miles, but they don't seem to realise this. it's very funny, you can get so close to them and they remain convinced that you can't see them.

Sorry, I can't help but plug my blog's version of Forever Autumn.

At the time I still had hopes that I'd be out of the country by now

I noticed Eternal's signature and remembered that I had see fieldfare and redwing at the weekend who have flown south to be with us this winter. Think of those poor souls, like the Scottish, who have to watch their birds fly south to be with us.
