Binkin heck! What a day - I forgot how cold it gets here in the winter. I can't believe I used to work outside in it. It was this time of year that I saw something that I will never forget. We had Highland cattle at the park and they had to be fed every morning, to keep them happy with people as much as anything. Anyway, I had prepared the food and walked around the visitor centre, which was still closed. There was a small birch just in front of me and in the branches about 10 waxwings. Those that know their birds will know how special that is and those that don't will just have to trust me, the only thing that comes close is your first glance of a kingfisher!
As you can see they are absolutely beautiful and fabulously exotic. Shame nobody believed that I saw them, But I know I did and that's the important thing. Loving nature isn't about impressing friends and colleagues, it's a feeling of joy at the life all around you - don't you think?
