Bye bye Blankie
... was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and there wasn't much wind. So I walked around for about an hour before I found the mall in Basingstoke (surprise! Ashley shopping? Neverrrrrr... haha).

Just look at the pictures and you'll see the fun. Lots of other birds - hawks and owls and vultures, but these are the highlights.
A long day - walking miles it seemed, kilos of day old chicks. And a bitterly cold half hour watching the professionals ...
