    I'm going to apologise in advance,
    A baby Polar Bear asks his mum; " Am I a Polar Bear mum?"
    His mum answers; " Yes , you're a beautiful Polar Bear"
    He then asks his dad; "Dad, am I a Polar Bear?"
    His dad says; " You are a stunning Polar Bear. Why do you ask?"
    He answers; " Cos I'm fukin' freezin' ".

    On a lovely walk today with Ruby Roo my nephew and his lurcher dog Basil we went to put flowers on my dad’s grave seeing a superb hunting female Sparrowhawk on the way,flew right past us.
    Then later on a Cool 70 Pink Footed Geeese flew overhead with their lovely crackling call. They are pretty scarce here and is a big count. Also a female Kestrel was noted.

    Was calling them the ducks with the broon haircuts til I found out their real name. Seen quite a few of them on the canal between Maryhill and Bishy.

    Can't remember seeing as many in previous years, wonder why all the sea birds hanging about the canals, maybe easier feeding these days, dunno.

    Not so many people around with lock down. We've noticed a lot of the sea birds and ducks are close to the shore when normally they get spooked by people passing by. Herons, dippers and plovers in particular are just sitting there. They keep a wary eye on you but essentially they're nowhere near as spooked as they usually are.

    Get some photos on here! Mind you the weather over there might not be conducive to taking photos at the moment. I was talking to my cousins in Manitoba and New Brunswick today via email and I couldn't believe the temperatures! I would just die! :56:

    @bagforlife some beautiful clear shots Susan. I loved the wee Robin :100: The bushes are full of lovely red berries just now so plenty for the birds to eat. It was gorgeous today but really freezing :eek1: I went out for a walk and took a few landscapes and I got a good one of a seal which I will need to download tomorrow :50:
