Been a long time coming

I can't believe I made a start on this post way back on the 17th November but it's true I did. It's the same day our modem decided to take its last electronic gasp before expiring and sending us into the bedlam that is hilariously known as telecommunication customer service. Nicely out of that and Chloe the Rotti decided she'd rather like a little extra pampering from us and so actioned her back end to collapse. It was all a little hairy scary initially but thanks to medications and a months course of injections she's almost back to her old self :)

During my blogging lapse the Crow's eggs hatched and two chicks emerged this year. This is them early morning Christmas Day, they'd been out and about from their nest for a week at that point and just the other morning I caught sight of them on the ground by the water bowl.
Remember those photos at the end of the previous post when I asked you what you thought they were? Well two photos were of a pair of birds called Tawny Frogmouth who like to impersonate limbs of trees and amazingly good at it they are too...

See the one above this feathered one's head, that's how this one looked before it sat up.
And nothing in the hollow except sunlight playing in the shadows. The remaining photo, and one which I didn't keep in its original format was of a dragonfly which had died and was resting against the glass panel when I got up that morning.

Smiles & see you next year ;)
