Saw a little tiding of magpies outside the flat this morning (oh yeah that's another thing I will miss, the wildlife out the back window that I never quite manage to catch on film), but they were brown. Not seen this before, thought maybe they were babies, but am still looking for pictures online of what a baby magpie should look like. They were regular black and white magpie colouring mostly but were reddish brown around their heads and chests. Tried to get some pics, but didn't get the camera in time. Also completely failed to snap the gap where that Please drive by carefully in our village bridge was in Dalston, it's all gone now.
Installing Thunderbird today, so I can get my work email and my gmail in the same place hopefully... got the receiving bit working, but not the sending. Reading A short history of nearly everything now, as part of my read all the books everyone else has already read plan. Just finished Vernon God Little and didn't really think much of it.
Oh yes, a tiding is the collective name for magpies... You live, and also you learn.

Can't make head nor tail of those pictures... you need zzzzzzoom or summat. My guess is they might have got lost on their way to Ireland... see here...

Yeah those pics are just out the back window, but not at the time when the brown magpies were there. Just out the back window generally, a view I will miss. There's a Victorian cemetery out there, no longer used, and it's a bit of a wildlife haven. I think I took those pics with a view to stitching them together into a panorama, but didn't get around to it yet.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
Also from the same week
