Do any of our UK friends have an allotment? How big is your plot? Any pics? What did you grow? |

looks like fun, wish I could send it some pics. can't because my scanner is broke. I live in Roland Arkansas, right across from my front yard is Pinnacle Mountain. my back yard has a tree line that opens up to the forest. the trees are pine, oak and hickory nut. during the Spring and Summer, I walk back to Lake Maumelle,which is found about 3/4 of a mile behind my home. I love it here because I also pick huckle berries, elder berries and dew berries! , yeah for me, that means I have some yummy jelly to chow down on.Tina |

I just spent the past few months living rough in the Boreal forest of Northern Canada. Between all of the dirt, insects, and wacky weather I managed to grab a few snapshots that I have been encouraged to share. My first night in camp I was treated to this lovely spectacle. It was one of the few nights that I was actually up late enough to see a night sky. It's not dark for very long in the north. ![]() I did see plenty of sunsets... ![]() ...and sunrises, though.

I was actually up there to help with a study of American Kestrels, but I think I captured more images of other things. Like flowers: ![]()

A Saw-whet owl, they really like it when you scratch them between the eyes.![]() Some Boreal Owl chicks. It's very rare to see one in the wild. I would like to note though, that these little fellows excrete some of the vilest, most odiferous poo imaginable. I should know as I had the pleasure of having one of them defecate on me. ![]() |

Great bird pics Loon. Owls are my favourites. Kestrels are beautiful too. Did you have to do any banding? |

It's good to be back, even if I am having difficulty re-adjusting to the concept of indoor plumbing.
Bring it on! I fancy myself an expert at the game of whack-a-mosquito. Kestrels are quite beautiful, of course they are also quite loud and very adept at inflicting pain on medlesome field assistants. I banded many kestrel chicks, as well as a couple of boreal owls chicks. Horribly cute, the lot of them. ![]() |
