poor robin

this poor little robin came to grief today despite every effort to save it. It had been attacked either by a cat or by a hawk, or possibly another robin.

purple toothwort

and a last look at purple toothwort (aka Aunt Columbia), before it is swallowed up by the lush green leaves of wild garlic.

greenscombe

Greenscombe meadows, showing the beautiful late winter colours, just before Spring repaints everything, and for any Americans who may be visiting Latchley (it is a small world).

spring time

for all those still suffering from Northern hemisphere winter blues, daffodils by the Tamar, Cassie in winter coat (due to be shorn next Wednesday).

cousins

Dad's second cousin once removed, hanging about at Sepilok. He says they are semi wild but I think they don't keep pets. Baby is about 3 months old.

Meanwhile down at the golf club, three Dutchmen were talking about their rounds. The indigenous people call the proboscis monkey the Dutchman because of his prodigious nose and fat belly.

wood anenome perfection

well, we are all back from our hols in Holwell (well named I think for vacations), and they are back from visiting their second cousins in Borneo. Of which more later no doubt. But can anything anywhere compare with the perfection of a wood anenome bathing in the sun? The weather has been fine and warm in the last two weeks, and everything is bursting out all over. Spring is here. Hooray!
