Sadly, I suspect it isn't going to include anything from the 'Have you ever been plowed by a Country Boy?' side of the genre.

This was the Christmas i started hiding behind the sofa from #TOTP instead of the Daleks.

Oh, God, no. #TOTP

In my head, they were little bear dudes that said 'Beechawaw-wa'.

Another #totp episode. Will this one be like a three selection box and half a tin of Quality Street fever dream?

'I Know Stuff'. I get requests for everything from IT problems, Law, process planning, Save Me From This Bug on the Floor, there's a bird in the building to Can You Join Our Quiz Night Team. Kind of like a one-woman A-Team in a cupboard sized office. I also do stuff with data sometimes.

Kestrels go bowling for pigeons all around there and East Croydon - then there are Sparrowhawks hunting around the gardens (but it's not the right markings for one of those).

If you think that's a bit exotic, during the first lockdown you could hear Tawny Owls calling to one another by the Swan.

Of course he is - @carlbovisnature.bsky.social

Photo of a European Robin, Erithracus Rubecula, wings outstretched.

Over the last week, I've noticed an increase in #Robins shouting their defiant song of survival, having migrated from Europe for our gentler winter. Time to wrap up well and restock the feeders!

The poem Pied Beauty by Gerard Manley Hopkins

A poem written by a man very much in love. The freckles we're still told are imperfections to be avoided or erased with peels and lasers, he found exquisitely beautiful. #GerardManleyHopkins #DappledThings
