IT IS CERTAINLY different here, that much is not in doubt. It is a great shame that Mick’s Caff à disapparu, as predicted. My daffodils are giving it a go of it but after the developers got into gear, I will be interested to see how many insects, birds and others are in operation as spring gets its little act together. ♦

The pigeon (kapota) and the Holly Tree
JUST OUTSIDE my kitchen here in Oxford is a surpassing – perhaps egregious Holly Tree.
Obviously, in Oxford, the Ivy is involved.♦
The bounty of fruits has been pretty fab in Englandland this year, and my Holly Bush provided a surfeit of er berries, surpassed by spiky holly things.
So this Wood Pigeon has been snaffling the berries for the last two or three weeks – I have no idea what the berries taste like to the daft bird.
The daft bird has been surfeiting on the Holly Berries just an arm’s length away from certain death if I was as much of a carnivore as I pretend.
But she or he has been asset stripping the berries for several weeks. And that makes me think that either the Holly spikes aren’t enough to protect from fat Wood Pigeons, or the fat Wood Pigeon is really, really stupid. ♣
