For WHO's birders

Post Nurse Ratched »

"I thought you might like this video.



It's a compilation of different birds singing. Beautiful photography. If you expand the 'title' under the video it gives a list of species and the times they pop up in the video. Most of the species are familiar to us in the UK, but there are some 'exotics' (the cranes - wow, what a noise!) It was filmed in Belarus. The guy has a channel you can subscribe to. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and maybe it'll take your mind off you-know-what for a few blessed minutes."

"Go to Maidenhead and talk a walk in the surrounding country side and you should see a few red kites. Really are a quite magnificent sight. There are plenty now, but never used to be any? Not sure why that happened?"

Take a dog for a walk in the park and they'll show you all the best birds mother nature has to offer. Own a cat and stay a prisoner in your own home as it spits up fur-balls on everything making you too scared to touch any unguarded surface and contract its covAIDs.

Nurse Ratched 5:05 Mon Jul 27 That's lovely. My recent spot was a Red Kite. First one I have seen since moving here. Also Jays nibbling on the Bramleys in one of my apple trees.

One of my goldfinch pairs has brought their four fledglings to my garden. My heart is full.

I've always said* that the only reason we hardly ever win 4-0 is because Ratched predicts it. Note that in the next game charleyfarley played Ratched's role. *jokingly (note for the moron who takes jinxing seriously - he knows who he is)

What's the point of an historic one man Ratched if the person it is named after isn't here to celebrate it.

This begs the question: how do bats enjoy spaghetti? Do they all have to turn into vampires?

"Around us, there have been loads of bats. Far more than usual. One even flew into the dining room the other day. Strange. This forum's still missing one old bat."
