there were like 4 squirrels running around me in the park at the same time. they were probably just as interested in observing humans as we with them (or they're just hungry)

bone structure of an old great tit's skull

bone structure of a young great tit's skull

also the bone structure is different (nevermind the dark spots, i just couldn't them wash away fully)

the beak of an old great tit. we can see some excessive beak sheath growth on the end

the beak of a young great tit

the beak of an old great tit from above. the beak sheath is more dry and aged

the beak of a young great tit from above. the beak sheath is more smooth and bright

I've recently cleaned a skull of an old great tit and just realised it is quite interesting to compare it to the other one i have, which was from a young bird

oh, that's awesome actually, I didn't even think about it before

unfortunately I also don't have an opportunity to visit those wonderful places, although I would really like to, but would definitely check out the first book. thanks a lot :)

hey, could you recommend any sources of info about gothic regional styles and their history? would love to get into building nerdism too
