A dead Magpie was lying on the paving stones outside the back door this afternoon. It had possibly flown into the "bus shelter" and broken its neck. In any case, all the other local birds seemed to be gathered in the trees just over the garden fence to look on. Dispatched it over the back fence. It might make a nice meal for a Fox tonight. Circle of life and all that. Osprey news: Settled pair at Bassenthwaite; settled pair at Threave; unsettled pair at Aberfoyle; single at Kielder; still none at Caerlaverock; satellite-tracked Strathspey male heading north through England and .... the first egg at Glaslyn.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
