Very interesting thread LD

I will dig out my collection of birds visited and seen from the saddle of my bike.

That might need re-phrasing....or is it just me?

Sharp this morning PP

no these will be the feathered kind

Ek het hierdie voëls almal in my tuin afgeneem. Foto se naam is die afrikaanse naam vir die voëls.
