I think a macro would be one or two of the ladybirds spots :D ...So I think the whole wee animal and its tree bark should be here.

Seen on the Clyde at Springfield Quay, last Sunday -

The were three of them (that we saw, they were spending as much time under the water as on it). The bird book suggests they're red-breasted mergansers, 'favours areas with woods or some other cover, usually seen on the sea in winter, but occasionally on inland lakes and waters,' so not surprising I haven't spotted them before. Or since.

Cute wee kitty in Maryport
Image

This starling was on Platform3 at Carlisle station, on its back, gasping for breath, a cleaner picked it up and put it into the flower bin beside me, i took a pic of it, and the time i was there waiting for my train, it started to come round, when i left it was trying to stand and was pecking at the soil.

Couldn't tell you Bridge .. I did have a conversation with him about a mutual acquaintance of mine who worked the doors as a way to fund a similar set up v.v. Birds of Prey travelling exhibit, but the conversation didn't actually get round to where the lad hailed from.

Sorry.

Ah, I was wondering because when I moved to Queen's Park three years ago, a guy turned up one Saturday morning with a gang of birds. He'd brought them from a bird of prey sanctuary or some such in Cumbernauld. I've been meaning to go over there some time but never get 'round to it. Can't remember what it was called now.
