@townsendoutdoor I had a Karrimor Panther rucksack from the 80s that I very recently donated to Ukraine - still going strong!

@sophielouisecc No, not me. Don’t assume we all agree with you.

@walkhighlands @Michael18964156 Lunga! Isle of my youth! Camped there on a Grampian schools trip in 1979ish. I was shown how to carry out a proper plant survey, got in my first kayak, saw a pod of Orcas, caught chicken pox, and ended up with a degree in Ecology many moons later. That trip was a life changer

@walkhighlands Hope Ma Walkhighlands got to see her puffins!

[Rachel Mercy Haines @GreenRaeHaines]

@walkhighlands Thanks, think I’ve just about got over it, 47 years later! Fortunately my hand wasn’t in the mitten at the time… but the loss was hard to take, not helped by my brother and Dad laughing like drains.

@walkhighlands A pony ate one of my first ever, brand new sheepskin mittens on Christmas Day when I was about ten. They have no shame - beware!

@ThisIsChrisx The heel. Or the crust, but the crust is more general and can refer to the outer surface of the whole loaf. The heel refers to the end slices only.

@walkhighlands Wow! Well done Helen! Hope we have snow on Thursday 🤪

@KateClanchy1 I put a run-over squirrel (red) in a poem of mine… ‘just a russet tuft in the rear view mirror’

I had three redpolls outside the house this week... I think they were picking up birch seed from the gravel. Lovely birds, but I didn’t manage to get a photo. Anyone else seen them recently?

[Rachel Mercy Haines @GreenRaeHaines]

@MerrynGlover Me too! Had to get the hammer out. Got ice grazes on my arms and legs that I didn’t notice at the time (possibly a bit numb 🤣)

[Rachel Mercy Haines @GreenRaeHaines]

@ajac0712 Such beautiful birds with immaculate camouflage. They breed in the woods near my house and I love the sound of their roding flights at dusk.

[Rachel Mercy Haines @GreenRaeHaines]

@townsendoutdoor I bet my species list is very similar to yours (not surprising as we’re just down the road from you) I had 7 different species but didn’t get your numbers as I could only count 11 coal tits at one time! My wrens were in hiding during the hour, otherwise I would have matched you.

Here’s my farewell to the EU...
