Out And About.

Here's some random stuff.

Truckee river (which apparently yields platinum if you pan there).

Nevada historical markers.

This is the "road" the Donner party took.

Also where they ended up inventing the Donner kebab.

Nice photos MiM.

Spent much of the late afternoon in the company of rooks and crows, they seemed to enjoy 'playing' in the strong Westerlies, popping up from behind hedges, hanging in the air above or beside me in the country lanes. You get the odd impression there's more to their lives than just food, survival and procreation.

On the way home five near mature red deer stags run out 30-40 feet in front of me and smashed across the lane into the large fresh ploughed field on the left, waiting at the top of which were three hinds; Spring arisen.

Ran into what looked like a Robin single's party on my walk.  About 9 birds hanging out on the same lawn.

Over here many of our Robins are now Ruskies, new Putin infiltration tactic?

Lots of tits in the garden at the moment; odd as I hadn't even stepped outside.

Guys, stop perving on those birds' tits.

The doves on my patio are back. We painted the house and moved the shelves they were nesting on. A couple weeks ago, I saw them standing at the front door. Just chilling on the porch. I thought, hey maybe they want their nest back. So we put the shelves back and the rocks back on top. Two hours later they had made another nest there and there are currently two eggs.

Nice. This winter during all the cold and heavy snows I started feeding the birds with a couple of feeders. Figured they had to be hard up for food to survive. The feeder attracts a lot of birds! Hoping to see some more rare birds, like purple finches and some warblers, and I've already seen them at times. Two feeders were small or flimsy and succumbed to large birds or squirrel damage. The one I have now is sturdy and mostly squirrel proof as it closes down the feed ports with a squirrel's weight on it. And I've seen that works too! I may put up more of them but not sure if I want to keep feeding them year round as they can make a bit of a mess.

I'm saying you are wrong though.

Well, ok so you are wrong instead. I find people with tastes like you or mongers to be pretentious.

Start a new project tomorrow, involves spending more hours 'out and about'; maybe be money in it too.
