What's Going on Outside Your Window?

An osprey just flew over carrying a fish in its talons.

Just as I began musing about what that poor fish must be thinking, the osprey let loose and the fish fell back into the river.

Now I really wonder what is going through that fish-sized brain.

Oh, and my neighbor is trying what I sometimes do - unloading and carrying all of his groceries at one time so he doesn't have to make the trip twice.

I justify that form of laziness as a workout.

Wow how lucky are you?! Ospreys on the doorstep!

I came home this week, and as I got out of the car less than 1 foot from me in my lovely Acer tree was a whole bunch of Long-Tailed Tits. Don't see them that often where I live but they always travel in numbers. Delightful creatures.

That tree must be gorgeous in Autumn!

Lucky sighting on those little creatures. I haven't seen any since I lived in California.

Not particularly exciting, I suppose, but they always make sure to cover it up.

They're well trained, you see.

The kids are playing out mostly
The family over the road arrived back a few minutes ago and their eldest, a four year old screamed crocodile tears "wahh I want it! WHAAA! WHAA! I WANT it" all the way from the car ..up the drive. to the house ...until the door slammed shut

No pretty birds HERE this afternoon!

There is a grey tranny van parked on the road and no signs of life anywhere

Re: What's Going on Outside Your Window?

Well, it's reassuring to know that on a nice Saturday that kids and cats are all out doing what kids and cats ought to be doing. I do like the sounds of a neighborhood.

.

That made me curious enough to start Googling. These days, a tranny has an altogether meaning over here, and for a split second I envisioned something like a clown car, except with trannies...well, you get the idea.

Sounds like she'd benefit from a good hiding.

Sorry, Rhian. I expect you're not in favour of old fashioned punishments!
