Always keep your eyes and ears open ...
Posted: 24 Jan 2015, 07:34Tuesday morning last week, I was walking along the riverside in Norwich when I got to part of it where the ships used to turn round near the Railway Station.. I saw a couple of moorhens calling out to each other ... and then I spotted a pair of cormorants bobbing their heads up and down to each other - Spring definitely in the air I thought, even if it is freezing !
Wednesday, I was bit further along the riverside, passing where one of the old wharfs was and there was one heck of a "row" going on, took me a while to locate the source .. FOUR floors up and the corregated roof of one of the few old buildings left that used to be used as a warehouse was one very, very, very noisy Egyptian Goose, also flapping its wings - don't think they could have made much more noise if they had been honking though a megaphone .. went on for a good twenty minutes ..
Thursday - I saw the "Cybercat" ... One of my neighbours had put an old sofa out for collection, a big fabric cream number. There was a very handsome ginger cat sitting on it looking very much at home, suppose it saved it getting its ginger bum frozen sitting under a bush on the ground - I took one pic with my phone but it was way to dark to see, so tried using the flash - the cat suddenly had developed these two huuuge glowing green eyes! (Pic posted elsewhere on Chill)
This morning I woke early am (got back to sleep), but I heard what I first thought was a dog barking in the garages outside (my bedroom backs onto a garage area - I am in a first floor flat) -funny sounding dog I thought .. then I realised it was a fox -it carried on barking for a bit, or whatever you call that foxese do, then wandered off still "barking" ...
