Das war ein langer Tag, und es hat sich dafür gelohnt, endlich Puffins zu sehen.

The long fay was totally worth it just to finally meet #puffins

Aparently they are a little behind schedle after this cold April. So nest building, but no pufflings on #lunga

My face hurts a little because I could not stop smiling.

Stewie (New York State, USA) went to great lengths to get his humans all into the living room, meowing and rubbing their legs. In there, he can keep watch on them. Now that this is done, he can finally sleep.

I called "Where's Myfanwy in the garden of earthly delights" a series, but had only made two, which isn't enough to be called a series. So, yeah... here's number 3.

Went for a restorative walk in the sunshine yesterday. Blue sky, green leaves, buzzing bees and bird song. Not bad.

#photography #birds #nature #Scotland

A photo looking upwards into a tree with a dense mesh of moss & lichen covered branches, and fresh green leaves, with a blue sky beyond. There is a bird on the central branch, a willow tit I think, , looking to the right.
Two almost identical photos looking upwards on a still bare but budding very tall tree, with a blue sky beyond. In the centre is the underside of a goldfinch. In the first photo it is in focus, looking left. In the second the focus has drifted as it looks down and gives me a stare.

Red squirrels in the Queen Elizabeth forest in the Trossachs.

LOOK AT THEIR TUFTY FLUFFINESS!

Taken with a hand held camera because I wasn't expecting to video, I was there to get snaps of the birds from the bird hide, but they were were just so cute.

Also cheeky, stealing ALL THE NUTS.

Video footage of red squirrels on a tree trunk with a bird nut feeder attached to it. They circle around it, chasing each other, before one stops to have a good old munch of nuts, before the other reappears and they dash off up the tree.

Mit mir im Zug fahren zwei maskentragende Backpackerinnen. Ich hätte sie vor Freude fast umarmt.

Ich habe heute im Museum mehrfach laut gelacht.

Große Empfehlung für Kyle MacDonald: Exhausting a Crowd (2015). Menschen im Internet konnten 12 Stunden eines Überwachungsvideos von Menschen am Picadilly Circus kommentieren.

Da waren großartige Sachen dabei.

Wenn ich das adäquat in ALT beschreiben könnte, würde ich sofort ein Bild mit Euch teilen.

• Feeling a bit guilty. Presented the Atlantic wolffish as an evil fish of doom & it doesn't deserve it. It's just doing its deep down thing & is a species of concern because of human interference

• So post about that

• But I try to keep things light & there are lots of people better informed than me on stuff like this

• Well, just mention it in passing & do something to lighten the tone

• Like what?

• You know what

/lunchtime nonsense

#sillyScribbles #googlyEyes #fish #AtlanticWolffish

A short video loop of an Atlantic wolffish lying on a bed of shells. We are viewing it from the front and it is opening and closing its mouth, showing two sharp teeth on the top, and two on the bottom that fit either side. It is dark bluey-grey, and is lit by a low artificial light that is rippled by the water. It has two large circling googly eyes in place of its real eyes. Sorry. I couldn't leave it alone.

Another odd thing. I saw this rotting flower & was immediately transported back to my aunt's bathroom & the crocheted doll that used to sit on top of the toilet roll.

Which is a little unkind about my old aunt's decor really, as her doll had a delightful pink dress as I recall with no rotting involved at all, but the shape is just perfect.

Right. That's this mornings odd observations (oddservations?!) out of the way over coffee, now to Sensible Things.
