It's funny looking back at all the things teachers used to hit pupils with - rulers, ping pong bats, board rubbers! Definitely not the good old days. The warbler is so pretty. We've been entertained by the sparrows lately who love nothing more than a dust bath in our garden before they bed down for the night - so cute.

For some reason America and its smaller wildlife are never shown here but that would be the creatures that would interest me most, including fish and unusual insects.
