Now that I’ve actually found where my keyboard is again, I hope I’ll be able to make some new posts about some of the other amazing birds that stopped by over the last couple of weeks. I imagine that the bushtit delegation was sent by the other birds to overcome my inertia by dint of sheer cuteness. Or perhaps they were just so excited to be together … I’m not sure if they are actually shivering here, as the weather was much milder than it’s been, or if it was part of their feather drying technique. Of course, as many of you wisely pointed out, it is impossible to spend too much time with birds!Īnd here’s a photo of the tour group having a refreshment break at the hummingbird feeder.
It is just possible that I am spending too much time with birds … ? OK, time’s up … on to the next step on the tour … no laggards please.” Don’t miss the bugs up there on the maple. “On our left we have the famous suet feeder - but be sure to step out of your comfort zone and try the exotic delights of the hummingbird feeder. I always wonder if one of them is the Rick Steves of the gang, pointing out the local attractions. They travel in close knit chattering charabanc tours of 20-30. I did manage to write a few short social media posts while I was sick and one of them was about the bushtits … See my previous post Consider the Bushtit for just some of the reasons why.ĭuring the very cold weather we had over the holidays they came to the garden many times a day to visit the suet feeder. In case you’re not familiar with these characters, bushtits are tiny, grey, determined and objectively adorable birds. A committee came, literally, to my back door to FORCE me to write about them. Yesterday, however, the bushtits decided enough was enough. It seems, however, that the COVID brain cannot process inspiration.Īlso, complete sentences seemed like just. Whenever I did get outside to walk the dog, or just stand in my dressing gown in the garden, there was bird inspiration everywhere - just begging to be shared. Throughout this period there was a tiny, slightly more active, part of my brain just itching to write a blog post.

Even daytime TV was not off limits! Some desultory knitting or needle felting was completed in between naps. and every day I’ve taken the alternative route of flopping in my comfy chair and watching hours of TV. Like many others, we had a rather Omicrummy Christmas as the virus raced through our household, and although triple-vaxxed, we were laid low for a couple of weeks.įortunately it’s been mainly just medium horrible cold and flu symptoms, overlaid with exhaustion and the need for many naps and lots of Advil.Įvery day I’ve thought “must write a blog post’”. Well, it turns out that one of the lesser known symptoms of COVID is the complete and utter inability to write blog posts.
