Another

Cold and Frosty Morning

that didn't even last to 10:30 before becoming

SPRING-LIKE

with all watercourses
CANADA GEESE

MALLARD
ice free and unable to resist any of the local

KESTRELs
in such pose down south where the next arrival was certainly straight from the

Tales of the Unexpected

and certainly

SPITFIRE
like even with the 'clipped' wing and while we had previously reported that the

CRAB-APPLES

FIELDFARE

and female
BLACKBIRDs
alike still finding sustenance and our wander ending with the now very familiar

ROYAL NAVY MERLIN

DAFFODILS

albino
LONG-EARED OWL
with 'archetype'.

It's a Beautiful Day are/were an American band formed in San Fracisco, California, in 1967 featuring vocalist Patti Santos and violinist Dave La Flame.
