Hello, again, old Twitter account. No, I haven't died, for all my old friends who never found the new Twitter account. I wish I could just merge the two timelines but I dunno if the site will survive that long. 😅Will update on post 2016 Twitter or other social media if asked

[crowjane29 @crowjane29]

Just checking in here on my old, mostly-dormant account, hope all is well 😄 If you miss me and want a more updated means of keeping in touch, please DM me. I have another Twitter account I update daily and a new blog. I use IG mainly for stories but haven't bailed on it yet

#Heron #Nest Update

I've finally managed to confirm there are four adolescent herons in that increasingly crowded nest... The parents are a less consistent presence as they're constantly out rummaging up food for their growing brood. The young ones alwa… https://t.co/g5b38dEmoO
