    Ornothologists Are Cool!

    Spent this morning sat in the conservetory with my binoculars watching birdies. :)

    We've had blackbirds (male and female) Sparrows (male and female) a robin, starlings, a chiffchaff, a dunnock, a wren, blue tits, great tits, a long tailed tit and this one i hadnt seen before so i got out the bird book and found we have a goldcrest...smallest bird in europe...very pretty...was a female tho, hoping theres a male cos they have lovely plumage.

    went down the river aswell and saw ducks (puddle ducks and mallardy ones) Canadian Geese, White geese, great crested grebes and a little grebe which i hadnt seen before. No heron today though.


    Aint Ornothology Brilliant? Anyone else a birdwatcher?

    My cat molly was supposed to stay with my dad when the rents broke up, mum got 2 dogs and 3 kids, dad got 4 cats...but he asked us to take her because he came down into the hall one day and there was a Woodpigeon sitting on the shelves with his bottle collection.

    Molly was say making machinegun noises at it, not only had she got a live (presumably stunned) wood pigeon into the house, there are 3 cat flaps on the way to the hall, and 2 of them are up steps :confused:

    Shes either very strong or Polly, Sam and Oliver helped her.
