I wonder where dem boidies iz

Met a friend at the school gates with her rescue greyhound and decided on an unplanned walk down by the river, which is where the pipe is.

Had a wee peek only to discover that its a blue tit's nest and that mummy Blue Tit was sitting on her eggs. "Great" thinks I today's blip - camera had other thoughts and refused to work with those dreaded words "change the battery pack".

Oh well a good excuse for another walk that way this afternoon and a dilemma unfolded. There was this beautiful Heron fishing on the burn, had to be photographed, and it might not be there tomorrow when I am pretty sure that Mrs Blue Tit will still be there incubating her 7 eggs - she has laid another since last blip (for those of you who cant wait till tomorrow a sneak preview of Pipe Watch 2).

Watch this space . . . .

Spring is sprung
Da grass is riz
I wonder where dem boidies iz
Da little boids is on da wing
Ain't dat absoid
Da little wings is on da boid
