COLD DARK ROOM

I know a few great bustards.... Well change the second letter to a different vowel.

Lol

Looks like it might be in the turkey family.

Spring is often a little bit skittish in Europa !

Well then someone should tell spring to get a back bone.

LOVED that video, Linda!!! What a GREAT project to bring them back from extinction in the UK!!!!!!!!!
I really like the sound that those juveniles make! But I agree: he'd better steer clear of Fergus!

It is such a good thing to be bringing back an almost extinct bird. If only they could do that with the extinct animals as well. Not dinosaurs of course but other harmless ones.

Interesting name... Good luck sighting them. And the delivery men afterwards! I hear they’re also quite rare, especially when you’re waiting for them...

Lol

Just had a bright idea to keep the cats out of the Cotoneaster where the Robins nest. Pyracantha has viscous thorns and we have two. I end up pruning loads off them every year. From now on, the prunings are going under the Cotoneaster. Biological cat control [emoji3]

To be honest I was thinking of razor wire and then had a more environmentally friendly brainwave [emoji23]

Well done. Good idea.

Happy Sunday fellow CDRians! Today I plan to mow the desert tortoise yard. Because we've had a lot of rain this winter, their grass is about up to my knees. They don't eat it when it gets that tall (unpalatable). I've been putting it off because I have to drive the mower through the Russian yard to get to the desert tortoise yard, and those little russian buggers are such good escape artists I worry they'll get out the gate before I can get through and close it. But I'm determined! Today I'll take a box with me and box up all the russians I can see and hope for the best.

I know Linda is going sight seeing, but what are the rest of you doing?

 

[CarolM]

To all:

Hope you had a nice day too.

 

[CarolM]

Those are besutiful. Pity that you had to puck them so quickly. You should dry them between two pieces of paper in a book. You could then make a book mark with it.

* Beautiful

Looks like a brown turkey (I think) lol. What's the purple on the bird in the pic? Is it a tag?

Not to worry saw it was a tag.

Good luck with your mowing, Yvonne!
and if anyone could be a successful Russian wrangler, it would be you!

Laundry day I am afraid. And today is my turn.

I have nothing particular planned, which is unusual!
I AM, however, going to buy 2 rubber mats to go under our cats' water dishes. Our alpha cat, Julio, for reasons known only to himself, has developed the habit of dabbling and splashing in the water dishes with his front paws. He makes a huge mess SEVERAL times daily. At least rubber mats will confine the water a bit from the floor and the baseboards.
I may also install the UV sterilizer for my aquarium that was delivered today!

...and he's at it AGAIN!!!!!!

I plan on hiding from the world in my greenhouse and replant a few seeds that didn't come up...

I took the hose into my greenhouse this a.m. only to discover I had allowed my seedling tray to dry out an it looks like all the little wild grape sprouts Len sent me have dried up and died!

Cold, dark, windy and drizzling here . Totally opposite weather from what we had here in Md on Friday and Saturday when temps hit the mid 80’s. Today I’m finishing “up-potting” about a dozen fig trees that have grown nicely but now need larger pots. Did about 6 or so yesterday and working on the rest now. Yucky cold though... so not as much fun as yesterday, BUT it’s got to be done now while figgies are just breaking dormancy and putting out their first few leaves. Some of my figs already have put out “Breba” figs.... those that come out of old growth wood. Most figs come from new wood/growth (just FYSA).

Good luck with those sneaky Russians, Yvonne! Could it be time you got a sully? You wouldn’t need to mow ever again...

Yikes. Maybe they could be revived?
