Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy

Have suffered a minor glitch with the Internet Connection over the past few days, but all seems well this morning. Foul weather more or less prevented any 'field work' yesterday, so once again gainfully employed on the Memoirs - have now reached the Seychelles 1966, 130 pages, 67,000 words.
Otherwise, we did spend some time among the Solar Panels on the other days which are proving to be a great attraction and sanctuary for Birds and other Wildlife alike.

DUNNOCK

plenty of them,

with Solar Panel backdrop.

CHIFFCHAFF

also in double figures but no sign of the 'Siberian' since Tuesday.

Unusually 'Off Piste' on Wednesday as no more than a whim took

me down to the River Avon Causeway.

c2 EGYPTIAN GEESE

were among a throng of

c214 WIGEON

and put on a fine preening display.

BLACK-HEADED GULLs

along with a lone

LAPWING

before I headed back to Merritown Heath and a rendezvous with

GARY CLARK

the Herdsman who has the c4 Belted Galloways (among others) under his charge.

While I contact Gary each time I spot the bovines on the Heath

this was our first meeting at the occasion of TB and Pregnancy Testing.

Romanian Vet Micheal was there to do the 'dirty' work

first measuring skin thickness

before administering the 'jabs'

while I thought it best to spare the reader the images of the

Pregnancy Tests.

Results are now know and the news is part Good, part Bad.

While there is no sign of any TB in any of the animals there is also

NO signs of any Calves.

Just a trace of

STEREUM HIRSUTUM

on the Heath and a final

ROBIN
again at the Solar Farm.
We hope for no further Communication Breakdown, so will talk soon!
