Feathers

This young Collared Dove decided to settle on our patio table - a parent wasn’t far away. I wondered at the amount of feathers growing, just seemed quite amazing somehow.

Feathers were not needed for warmth today as at last we have the sunshine everyone else has had. Over the last few days, instead of sunshine we have had cloud cover and even rain. Not any longer. Now I think we are in for a few days of heatwave.

Much as we are glad of the sunshine, we have to remind ourselves that these temperatures are yet more evidence of global warming, which is affecting other parts of the world in severe ways. Why our government isn’t taking this seriously beats me . . . oh we don’t have a government at the moment.
