"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree.

I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles
Merry Christmas -
I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.
Best wishes - Michael
