Nan was joking because the bird is in moult and pretended it was a new species.

I made a pun out of the Magpie's Latin name Mel - Pica pica. $\O$

Saw these two little Crowned Plover chicks at the Brat's school yesterday.

Sorry about the quality but my phone doesn't take great pics!

Found this poor crittur flopping about on the erf,..

Seemed very incapacitated, so I placed it on a branch
out of reach from other members!!!!,..with little hope!!

Phoned the local vet, organized a cardboard box and shipped the
animal too better refuge,..

All along it somehow seemed to perk,..

A barn Owl or just a Grass Owl, the dark ring
around the dead pan flat face?????

Looks like a barn owl to me. I hope that it will be OK!

Cute birdies, Flutty $\O$
