Nearly time ...

Just 5 hours and 50 minutes before the new list can start ... but in reality I suppose it will be nearer to mid-day tomorrow before I get out to any birding. 

We have a new puppy, Rusty-pup ...




That him with my domestic supervisor, Jan.  This shot was taken on the day we choose him at the breeders place in Winsford.  He's turned in to a little cracker of dog, a toy poodle if you are wondering what breed.  Now, when you think of it that's a daft name for dog breed.  Yes, I know it refers to their size but they hardly 'toys' are they?  They're alive and run around all by themselves and having fun ... and crapping and peeing all over the place if you don't keep an eye on them and take them out regular.  Rusty has done 2 dumps this afternoon while we were not looking.  It's all part of the fun of having a puppy though and we really can't complain about it can we. 

What I am looking forward to though (and note! 'looking forward to'), is taking him out for walks when he's had his second jab and his micron-chip done.  There is an ulterior reason for this though, where we will be going is a 'rec' just off Mount Street in Dorktown and there's birds there ... birds that count on the UK birding list.

'ey up there ... why do owls make that hoohoohoo sounds?  Easy, it's when the pick up a really hot mouse.  Oh dear, maybe I should have left that one with Alex Horne where I found it ;-)))
