Some New Beginning!

Four days into the New Year and it's back in with the old!

Needless to say I have started myself back on a dose of 20mg Prednisolone steroids! So much for a new beginning!

Any road up - I thought I might solve the mystery of "where the birdies is" (See yesterdays post) by visiting my local park today. Sadly not. No sign of a spuggie anywhere, plenty of bigger birds but not one smaller than a crow. The plot thickens!

In answer to Crystal Jigsaw - yes, we do have a cat but I'm sure not even her presence could scare ALL of the (smaller) birds from the whole town of Middlesbrough!! I expect to hear a news item any day soon stating how Alfred Hitchcocks "The Birds" has been re-enacted by swarms of sparrows, tits and blackbirds in a town nearby!  In the meantime my breadcrumbs, seeds and nuts will remain untouched.

Curiouser and curiouser!

The Squirrels of Stewart Park.

Found these friendly little fellows on a recent visit to a local park. They were particularly friendly (probably because we had lots of fruit to spare!) and came right up to our seat, much to the amusement of Emily, who'd never seen squirrels so close.
