Friday Feathered Friend
Another image from Rosa Marie. This week we feature a starling having a bath.
"A great day for getting out and about, so it was off to Silverstream armed with my hiking boots as I knew the track would be really muddy! I couldn't clap eyes on any kingfishers today but there was plenty of other birdlife, and most of them seemed to be performing ablutions including a fantail (unfortunately he was well hidden when he was bathing so the photo isn't very good!)."
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Desperately seeking bottle fed calf as friend for ours.
Hi, we have 1 very lonely calf which was abandoned by its mum. We are looking for a companion calf, still being bottle fed so our wee one isn't alone. This is urgent. Thank you.
