Green or Yellow?

Hello Woofers.

Daisy here.

Well, we got another rain-soaked day here in North Kent but the day was saved by the fact there was little work for OTL to do and he could spend some time playing with his camera gear.

The renewed interest in the camera stuff has grown from the booking he has made to visit the Treshnish Isles off the top of Mull.

Then afterwards we stop off to Staffa to see Fingals Cave and then Lung to photograph the Puffins before they finish breeding and head off for another year!

So, to get a bit of practice OTL set up his VBL (Very Big Lens) on the big tripod. Now, our garden isn't that big and we got what OTL thinks is a Japanese tree with its roots on one side of the garden and the branches stretch half way across the garden. Anyway, we get the birds ducking and diving on and off the feeders and into the tree.

The rain was still filling the pond but he got a couple of shots of a Goldfinch and one that was a Greenfinch of it may have been a Yellow Hammer!

What do you reckon?

Now, we know this is a Goldfinch.

Now this is the problem one, Greenfinch have a yellow/green breast but this one seems to have an excess of yellow!

Greenfinch or Yellow Hammer?

Looking at the picture again, I reckon it's a Greenfinch.

If tomorrow is anything like today I reckon OTL will be trying to catch a few more birds in the tree!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Raining again!

 Hi Woofers,

Daisy here.

Well, what can we say, it has been raining for almost all the day!

This morning I got dressed in my rain coat and set off to the sea wall but when we got to the car park the rain had stopped. So, OTL says that we can take it off 'cos I don't really like the rain coat cos it catches my hair at the top of my legs.

Off we went and half way up the path, it started to rain again and got stronger as we got to the end of the football field.

That was it, I sat down and refused to go any further and as OTL came to see what the matter was, I stood up and headed back to the car!

The lunchtime walk was about the same so I have been doing speed weeing today!

Both of OTL's mobile phones went off at three on the test alarm. OTL reckons it is a good thing, I mean, in an emergency we would like to be told, if the tin opener had got lost and dinner couldn't be served!

No pictures today, it has been too wet to take the camera out with us, would that count as a emergency?

Let's hope the rain packs up and tomorrow it will be dry, claws crossed!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.

A Lazy Day.

 Hello Woofers.

Daisy back again.

Well, what a super day it's been. For some reason OTL was up before it was light and in for an early shower. TM beat OTL to the shower and was washed and ready to go off to the village hall.

We had taken a load of stuff up the hall last night so there was little to do and TM planned to have her breakfast up the hall while waiting for everyone to turn up.

OTL and I headed down to the sea front and while there was no sunrise, there was a very interesting colour in the sky.

Another interesting shot would be if he was looking along the breakwater and out to sea.

OTL and I spent most of the morning at home catching up on our missed snoozing. 

Lunchtime we burnt the pizza that was left for us. OTL is used to burnt food 'cos that is the way TM does all the food. You know she can even burn lettuce!

It was still sunny down on the river side and we saw a large carrier come into dock on the rising tide.

We have had a super afternoon snoozing our tails off, it makes a change to get a good pre night time snooze!

St Georges Day tomorrow, let's get dressed up and hunt a dragon or two!

Luv,

Daisy.

Guess who the mug is?

 Hi woofers!

Daisy back again. Guess what?

It has been raining!

It's been raining for most of the day both OTL and I got a soaking!

The puddle that OTL uses to wash the mud off his wellies has received a fresh refilling of clean water!

Well, now he has enough fresh water for at least for the next two weeks.

 This is not the Wellie Puddle!

It is noticeable that the trees are sprouting their leaves and the forest has now taken on a green hue.

Where the tree has yet to sprout leaves, the trunk and branches had a good covering of moss or a green fungus!

Just look at the green!

One funny thing arrived here this afternoon, well, I think it's funny.

Now, TM is always a sucker for a new coffee mug and today the postman arrived with a big box containing a mug.

We could hear TM laughing her tail off as she was opening the box.

It was a prezzy from Archie Babe and it had a picture of OTL and TM on the side.

The only problem is, which one is which!

I think TM is on the right but that's only on a good day!

All I've got to do is to get a water bowl with a picture of OTL and TM on the side!

 

Tomorrow TM is off to the village hall so that means OTL and I get to have a chance of a snooze!

 

See you all tomorrow!

 

Luv,

 

Daisy
