This will be my last posting until after Christmas. Couple more days at work, then up to the North East, before coming back in time for the New Year, and more blogging.
But before I go, a couple of parish notices:
The BREATHING PLACES campaign continues to encourage thousands of people to “Do One Thing” for nature. It has a brilliant Christmas viral video - do take a look, great fun.
I mentioned in my last posting possibly doing a Birding Blog Event, just for fun. So here's my suggestion; work off those Christmas pounds, get out there and then during the weekend of the 3rd & 4th January we all post on our own blogs what we've seen and the number of bird species (or wildlife) over Christmas and the New Year. It should be great fun to read what's happening around the world, be it a single entry from a garden or a full blown twitch.
If you're up for this, leave me a comment when you've done your posting and I'll do a bit of a summary and spread the word.
Therefore until my next posting I'd like to therefore wish you all a very Happy Christmas, and a personal thank you for all the comments and encouragement over the last 12 months of blogging.
Finally : I've posted a bit spoof diary on my Art Blog, my antidote to Round Robins, if you need a bit of a diversion.
I'm going to try and take up your challenge! Actually today, for the first time ever, we had three roe deer in the garden at 9am...(mother, yearling (?) and this years young) weird! They stayed about half and hour (quite happy munching my heather and camelias!)and then trotted off up the road (luckily in the direction of fields and woods!). I will definately be looking out for them again over Christmas. Happy Christmas from Dorset! Jane
ReplyDeleteForgot to say thanks for the Breathing Places link for the Christmas Wildlife Video... love it. I'm putting it on my Blog and sending it as a Christmas Card! Jane
ReplyDeleteThe bird blogging event sounds like a wonderful idea...I'm in! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYep me too Andrew, and I've something up my sleeve...to probably reduce my species list by a good few...
ReplyDeleteCount me in as well, Andrew. Well, someones got to come in last place.
ReplyDeleteCount me in andrew. I'll post a bird species list on my blog in the new year.
ReplyDeleteI'm up for it too Steward but in the meantime, have a lovely Christmas and see you in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks all, as it happens I've got a chance to check up, so best of luck over the Christmas period, hope to read some good reports on the 3/4th in your blogs. Ho Ho Ho, Andrew
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - I'll do my best to post as near to the 3rd/4th... but may be a bit late depending on PC access during that time. John
