Food For The Crow

 

Crow eating pellets in a pond in Scotland

This crow is eating the food pellets I put in the water for the ducks and swans. He was a regular at the pond and I used to put some at the edge of the water for him.

David over at https://travelswithbirds.blogspot.com/ was asking what sort I use. These are the ones I use here: Wild Things. I like these as they float. I usually throw these into the pond or canal for the water birds and the wild bird seeds for all the birds on land!

Happy 80th Birthday Ron Mael

I am a huge music fan and went to see Sparks recently in July when they were in Edinburgh. I posted about the last gig HERE.  Not many of you knew Sparks from that last post. They were big in the 70s and their most famous hit is probably This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us. Ron Mael turns 80 today so thought this was a good time to post about the gig to wish him a happy 80th!

Ron was even sporting a tartan tie! What a great gig, so full of energy for 2 old guys! The singer, Russell is 76 and it didn't show! I have been into Sparks since the early 80s. My dad was a fan and used to play them a lot and I enjoyed them as a kid and listened to them growing up. Even managed to get my 6 year old daughter into a few of their songs!

All the best to Ron and we hope to see you in Scotland again real soon.

Glasgow Mela 2025

I have been going to the Mela for many years now. It's usually held at the end of June in Glasgow. I posted about it last year HERE

This year it was held on Sunday 22nd June. And it was very wet due to the heavy rain. Just have a look at these photos!

She Won!

 

Cow in Scotland

Took this photo today. This cow definitely won the staring contest. Just look at her eyes! Lovely animal.

I went out with my friend for a walk along the canal and we ended up doing nearly 10 miles! I was happy I lasted so long as I haven't been out walking in a long time. This is hopefully the start of my walks again.

I took this in March when it was still chilly. The planter blocks the sun from melting the frost. I thought it was a nice photo.

Sign from The Bruce Pub in Larbert Scotland

I liked this sign especially what the dog is saying! I cropped it so you can see what he is saying! It made me laugh. This is from a pub eatery not far from us called The Bruce. Been a few times and it's okay.
