Quote of the week.

I get them all scurrying round as I'm sat here under the Yew tree having a pipe.

I've been thinking of this quote by @MattF all week, it just makes me think of Gandalf or maybe Cat Weasle toking on a twisted old foot long pipe.

From what context ?

What / who's scurrying around.

What's in his pipe ?

'Pipe' in French is a subject which falls foul of the 'family friendly' rules...

Cat Weasle...i used to love that show years ago, he once called the moon "the night sun"

I think the tobacco is scurrying around and he's smoking the hedgehogs

Penicillin might do a better job though.

Currently the field mouse scurrying around. It's a bonny little thing.

have you been watching Bagpus again?

Ye of little faith. It's on that middle step.



Not easy getting a photo, btw. It's like they're on a rush. Never still.

He was Catweazle all one word with a z. My favourites were the telling bone and electrickery

Good snap. Shouldn't there be a handrail on those steps?

Here's my Robin.

Ahh, you're like me, you name your wheelbarrows. Mine are Will and Barry.

I've had a young one coming to the compost bin for worms for a few days this week but it's not showed up today. It's very tame and will sit on the wall only feet away and wait for me to put worms on the wall for it.

Anyone seen the film Ladyhawke? What type of hawk is it in that, (the sound/call)?

Our little helper has been with us today, he's not as clean as yours but he's not very old yet and still getting his red breast.

Had a squirrel doing Tarzan impressions on the bird feeder at the weekend!
Where's the cat when you need him?

 

[MattF]

The squirrels make me chuckle. The amount of times I see two of them playing chase. One was creeping steadily through one of the flowerbeds this morning.

Red tailed hawk, American species

Red tailed hawk, American species

Do they all have roughly the same cry then? We've had one, or more, knocking about for a few weeks now. Sounds uncannily similar to that one in the film.
