Worthing can pass for Malta, if you get the right location and squint.

Love the utensils can. That sure is a blue sky.

Here’s Peter’s yacht nemesis

[Nocturnal Submission]

Another stunner, FF. I shared it with my son who loves high-rise urban images.

[Lang Spoon]

Seriously, this wee nyaff had better start paying rent.

Lang Spoon Have you given him a name?

[Lang Spoon]

He's the neighbour's from two doors down, appears to go by the name of "Charlie ya bastard" following his escapes.

Eating an apple from the tree, I got close enough to almost touch it.

Great pic AE. I still can’t get my head around the fact those things are flying round England.

Arrived way too early in, well, SW10 at the moment for the Chelsea/Zenit game so I thought I'd have a quick wander.

Pied Wagtail

[ursus arctos]

AE, is that bird a member of a recognised community of escapees?

I'm sure that I've written before about the colony in Brooklyn

Ah, I was hoping that someone would tell me what it was!

I've no idea, there are at least half a dozen always in or around our local park. There's also a large colony in Greenwich Park as well.

I've never seen them so low before, they always stay up in the high branches of the larger trees and occasionally swoop over the local houses.

Yes, I think I've seen stories before that they were believed to have escaped originally from the set of The African Queen. We used to see a flock of them regularly on Clapham Common.

As always though, the truth seems likely to be more prosaic: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/s...496.html%3famp

[Felicity, I guess so]

They're in Walker Park in East Newcastle and fly over our allotment, squawking
