I salute him and say the rhyme about where is your mate and regard him as a bit of a talisman. A good one, too. I reckon magpies are very elegant and scary and love their machinegunfire cries but this one is a failure as a magpie. His feathers are far from glossy...not much in the tail as I said and altogether a bit like a magpie tramp! I am very fond of him.adele gerasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-16765291966809318972009-07-25T13:34:07.222+01:002009-07-25T13:34:07.222+01:00How lovely!

I do like our local crows with their feathery trousers and their mobile phone impressions but would love to see an egret from my window. <br />I have a talisman like that but not for writing for life I suppose. On the West Coast mainline just outside Chester is an old earthwork, a bit like Maiden Castle with a herd of deer on it. If I see a deer with antlers everything - children, work, money - will be brilliant, all their exams will be passed with As and jobs will be had by all. If I see a deer but no antlered deer, things will be OK, fine, but not brilliant. If I see no deer at all.........oh dear.<br />How sad is that.Catherine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610226884546830879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-25585302369561274422009-07-25T13:25:15.563+01:002009-07-25T13:25:15.563+01:00I'm so glad you sorted out the posting, Michel...I'm so glad you sorted out the posting, Michelle. How fantastic, to have a near-resident egret. And I love the idea of an egret that goes surfing. Perhaps your husband is jealous.... all those old tales of women taking lovers who come in as birds. And your egret sounds very sexy :-)Anne Rooneynoreply@blogger.com
