Marina Bird Mystery

posted by

It’s hotting up on the marina. Bill Hates Youuu  is back and I remain none the wiser as to what the cause of Bill’s vitriol is, though, I do have two theories. The pair of cuckoos seem to have had a fight. There is a lot of Cuck but no Coo. Perhaps Coo is Bill? […]

Marina Birds

posted by

The Canada geese were on a hurry up this morning. Obviously they hadn’t set the alarm as I heard one of them quite distinctly tell the others “We’re Late! We’re Late! We’re Late!” Hope wherever they’re going is used to their tardiness 🙂

Earworm again

posted by

For weeks my earworm has been mumbling incoherently to a orchestral refrain I can’t place. I’m wondering if it’s a ring tune. It sounded like dumb dumb dairry /dumb dumb dairry /dumb dumb dairry daaaaha The fog has lifted on the lyrics. Apparently they are: Tons of berries Tons of berries Tons of berriesTa! Better […]

Moving on to the boat is the best thing we ever did. And as the Apocalypse continues to wreck havoc with friends and family, it’s mornings like this that remind me that for all the evil in the world, there is still beauty in this world of ours. The photos below capture a phenomenon called […]

Bicycle Bird

Judging by the sound from outside the boat, one of the birds possesses a bicycle and a very squeaky pump. Let’s hope they dont have two flat tyres to deal with because that’s an an awful lot of work for one tyre

Guess who’s back?

posted by

I haven’t heard Bill Hates Youuu for a long time. But the summer was a busy one and, what with the Autumn Term of the Apocalypse happening in reality rather than virtually, my times for hearing him have been limited. But I took the dogs out for a quick wee wee walk, in the mud […]

More Wood Pigeon Saga

Bill Hates Youuu is back. To be fair he was around most of yesterday. I think he’s on a retainer However there’s a twist to the tale today. A new bird has entered the conversation with the question that’s been bugging me for days: “Bill Who?”
