Under Rydon Hill

Welcome to this blog about my time away from the tedium of domestic management. Once called "Tits and Things", now sub-titled "Life in Quantoxia", there's plenty of bird ringing (90%), some odd bits of general birding, some local steam trains, some personal bits and occasional 'away days' in other parts of Britain. Rydon Hill overlooks the lower valley of the Doniford Stream, where most of these activities take place.

Sixty plus

No, not my age! The number of Brambling now coming to the seed in the orchard. That's a little too far away for me to photograph with my Fuji compact, so I put some seed down beside the path about 30 feet (10m) from the kitchen window. Here they are (well, some of them)
Brambling - Christmas Eve 2010

We're making use of this cold weather to input past records into IPMR (the database system); so far Mike has got it over 76K and I still need to input some early records - now that I've resurrected my old notebooks.
