In the interest of not scouring my photo library for the next four hours, lol, the collage will have to do for the time being. I'll add new ones as they come 😂

Should be a picture of a panda here. Went back 2x before I finally saw a few. Unfortunately I forgot to charge my phone all the pics are on a friends Nikon with a nice lens. Anyway they really do look like living stuffed bears, have a tendency to fall out of trees and roll down hills. Beautiful as can be but they seem slow and awkward, only eat one plant which is not ideal for survival. I’m sure they could rip me to shreds they seem to have some serious claws.

I have always found them to be magnificent beasts of the field I’m glad they are doing a lot to protect them over here.

Happy to oblige - from a trip to a panda sanctuary in China a few years ago.

One of my wife’s orchids has delivered her a New Year present by blooming today.

Thanks sorry I missed that. I was speaking with one of the workers at the sanctuary. The list of volunteers they have is a mile long. What time of year were you there? I went in December they seem to be less active.

We went in March - they were having a great time.

This is the first time I’ve encountered a Parus major as trusting as a robin. Scattered some crumbs, and it came within a few inches of my phone.

I like friendly tits 😉

We had a Merlin terrorize the bird feeder last week. One moment you wonder why all the birds took off…and then you see it. Falcons are incredibly fast.

Trees reflecting in a puddle by the beach yesterday. Today this is under 10cm of snow by now.
