I have a beautiful photo of the thrush seen in my last entry (i.e. the exciting quiz I set) but I haven't figured out how to put it onto the computer yet. Hopefully soon!
It's been a disappointing few days birdwise, because my trip to Norway has been cancelled due to a dry hole (don't ask). While this is nice because I'll get to a watch the World Cup on Justin James Green's large new TV while drinking beer, but a shame that Norway's rich variety of birdlife will have to be spotted another time. A warmer day today, hopefully a good start to June after a dismal May, but the downside of this was that our units in our workplace were filled with pesky Blinkyflies. What awful pests these Blinkyflies are - always in your face and just being a general annoyance. So, no birds today - just Blinkyflies! | ||

| You're not the first person to have noted the prevalence of blinkyflies in the region lately. A lot of people are wondering whether it's due to the decline in thunder pigeons, who generally eat insects, especially blinkyflies. Thunder pigeons are of course one of the north-east's few ground-nesting birds, and they're threatened by Turkish neck weasels which got artificially introduced two years ago.
Reminds us all how fragile our eco-system is... | |||

| I hope they are not the dreaded, smelly, migratory form of the blinkyflies, aka the stinky blinkyflies. I've experienced this species in the past, and I must say, its the absolute limit. | |||
