I have never seen a bullfinch, tho I studied birds while at teacher's college near Bakewell. I had to learn most of the birds over again when we moved to the States. We don't have such a great variety in Southern Californis, but I imagine green and bushy places like Pennsylvania have more variety.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-18801060943156701822009-11-29T01:19:12.478-08:002009-11-29T01:19:12.478-08:00Hi everyone on this pouring wet morning - after ye...Hi everyone on this pouring wet morning - after yesterday's sunshine it has been wet all night, the river is over, we are cut off from our lunch date today and all the fields are flooded. Such is the temperament of British weather.<br />Glad you like the new header. It was taken last winter when we had several hoar frosts - they are quite rare here but when they occur they are magic.<br />Seven pheasants appeared under our pine trees during the shoot - at least they are learning to keep out of the way.<br />I am just donning wellies to go out and take a photograph so that on today's blog you can all see just how awful the weather is.<br />As usual, thank you for the comments.<br />Thanks poet for the compliment on the handwriting - not sure why I move away from the margin - there could be something psychological in it!The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-33782508394114611252009-11-28T20:10:45.090-08:002009-11-28T20:10:45.090-08:00Enjoyed this walk so much that I feel like barking...Enjoyed this walk so much that I feel like barking at a rabbit myself...<br /><br /><br /><br />Aloha, Friend!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://comfortspiral.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Comfort Spiral</a>Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-53248873158012124482009-11-28T16:27:55.888-08:002009-11-28T16:27:55.888-08:00i feel a song in your writing voice, one can trave...i feel a song in your writing voice, one can travel its rhythms quite lovely.mansuetudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03805383049085040581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-11524333691210945882009-11-28T15:38:53.745-08:002009-11-28T15:38:53.745-08:00It is a treat to wander with you through your hous...It is a treat to wander with you through your house out into the fields, with Tess at your side, even against the horrible background blaring of those infernal guns.
