Last night the 'stray' cat that I have seen a few times got brave and came over to me as I was putting the bins out.
Oh dear, it is actually very friendly and wanted to come into the house, I have been banned from having any more cats.

We've just seen Henry IV pt 1. That's my culture for 2015 and 2016 taken care of.
Aren't you going to watch the sequels? Loads of sex and violence in VIII apparently.

Been birdwatching at Topsham in the nice sunshine today, according to a twitcher bloke I 'must have seen the Black Brants goose mixed in with the Brents Geese'. I looked it up on getting home and still have no idea if I did or not.

I've no idea about geese but I saw 10 or so black geese on Southsea seafront yesterday and they looked very much like the Black Brants I've just seen online. I wonder.....

Apparently there was one in the feeding group of over 100...
When the only real difference between them and the Brent goose is - as far as I can see - what its name is, it was really hard to know which was who was what!
Mrs ID was helpful, she had brought a packet of humbugs.

Ah yes, reading this - http://www.gobirding.eu/Photos/BlackBrant.php - it appears that the two species happily make hybrids just to keep the either/or-nithologists guessing.
