just a note

I was going to write a proper post about going to Dorset last weekend and seeing some exciting butterflies, but that will have to wait.

This is just too funny not to share though :)

There should be a few other previews linked from this, but I think the clip one minute into this one has to be my favourite...

Back to work

In an attempt to regain a sense of normality, I am back at work this week.

Well, as normal as you can get working in a place like this...

Not so bad really :)

Hi

Not been around much of late, most of you know why but this silence will probably be a bit more prolonged so don't expect much bird-related news for a while.

On the fish front, I can't say the situation has become any more optimistic. That fish carped it, and another one is looking pretty ropy as of this evening. I have to say, they really pick their times to become suicidal... I need to do a complete overhaul of my tank, and replace the stones with sand to be more catfish-friendly, plus introduce a load more plants. This will require most of a day to do, and this is time I don't particularly have at my disposal currently...

Family-wise, we're doing okay. Going through the motions but I guess it won't sink in fully for a long time. Big day on Wednesday, after which I suppose we'll have to start trying to get back to "normal". If my fish could cease this mass piscecide for a couple of weeks, I would be most appreciative...
