Emma, I’ve just heard you on the radio! Interesting stories

That must have been a wonderful experience Fatina!

It’s a remarkable piece of music

They do!

Birds at Whiteknights Campus at the University of Reading yesterday: robin on top of a pole; Egyptian goose family, and the growing goslings in a warming clump; great crested grebe behind a tufted duck

Looks revolting!
