I would have done a nice shiny pretty birthday post with awesome photos, but the boy still has my camera. Never fear, my phone shall provide...
Remember my fish tank? It's still there, minus my ram and plus thousands of snails. I've spent most of this evening harvesting a load of snails, but while writing this I can seeReal 10 more that have appeared since. Oh well... I really should get around to getting a few more fish, but need to make up my mind what I want first. Got a nice new book on fish for christmas, which is both useful and highly confusing at the same time.
In birdy news, I got myself a couple of year ticks and a life tick in the form of two tundra bean geese at Rainham over a panini. The differences between them and the greylags were much more pronounced than I expected, with very stripey sides and generally smaller. The other was a yellow-legged gull pointed out by the boy on the way to our band rehearsal, but I can't say gulls really fill me with excitement.
In the absence of any other related photos, have some from last July which I never got round to posting. Both are from my nan's garden, lucky thing.
Wish I could go back to then really. I'll try to make this blog better this year, promise.
Hoorah. More posting please.
ReplyDeleteAlso, sorry about the camera. I'll endeavour to take some pictures of something good with it. A slavonian grebe, perhaps, maybe at Rainham.
Good luck with the snails - you've won a similar battle before, so I have every faith in your anti-gastropodic skills.
thanks for the vote of confidence- i shall battle on...
