It may be winter outside - Felice Taylor

It's cold here at the moment Peter, snow on the mountains by the coast, so even an outdoor pool here today would be a no-no, probably a no-no until April.

I know what you mean Suz, but I had several winters in Minnesota and several in Toronto when I'd frequently be on my backside after falling in the snow, so I'll stick with the sunshine for now. You do live in a beautiful part of the UK, but I wouldn't trade the weather.

I foolishly gave this away shortly before my computer crashed with the download on, the image was still on my camera. I think I remember who I gave it to, but you know how it is.

I don't suppose the time vortex goes back to the early 70's does it? I'd be on my way if it was, I could sort out my wants list quicker that way.

A nice reminder of why I'm living on the coast in sunny Spain.

It's the flip to Big Blue Diamonds on Okeh Peter.

Not on a juke box, but Edwin Starr's 25 miles was played over the sound system in Morrison's in Gibraltar just before Christmas.

Nice flip too, one of my favourites, a multi talented artist for many years, and will certainly live on through his output.

A couple more on eBay, both far more than I'd want to pay for a new boot.

A Sardinian Warbler taking Baloo's advice

To be honest Martyn, when I saw him I thought he was a woodpecker, they are just a bit bigger than a jay.

There you go

So a pretty rare sight, I consider myself lucky, I was within about 4 yards of it at one time, it didn't seem bothered by me at all.

I think they'd need a really hard winter, mine was round about 1990, and was with a load of Redwing. It stuck out like a sore thumb, and was eating some apples that were rotten and still attached to a tree in an old orchard.

You were helped by having a good food plant outside your window though Martyn, that Sorbus hupehensis is always going to attract winter visitors. Do you get Nutcrackers up your way? The bird, rather than the wooden soldier or metal kind, in case someone was feeling like being sarcastic, I've only ever seen one and that was probably 30 years ago.

Nice one Suz, the attractively named Yellow Brain Fungus and the Honey Fungus (just for those that weren't aware).
