The mere earlier today.

Male mallards looking very snazzy at present, not least those iridescent dark green head feathers. It turns out the basis for this is well understood (just not by me, heh). royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.10…
Very nice animated film of the history of Ellesmere Port. youtu.be/3psk_iR4B…
And then there were two (mandarin ducks).
Upcoming: #Wirral Viking Festival in mid-June. Not quite my era perhaps but very worthy I’m sure. www.thewirralvikingfestival.co.uk
Brighter day if still a little chilly. Currently somewhat hors de combat so no jogging but still aiming to get the steps in.
Local scenery, alpacas and lentils. Sounds good. #wirral www.independent.co.uk/life-styl…
Still distinctly chilly but snowdrops hold the promise of warmer days ahead. No Marvin today but first signs that the moorhen with the broken foot is slowly recovering. Limping rather than hopping now.
Marvin and the Mallards earlier today.
Low turnout (do ducks really like drizzle?) but spirits lifted by a brief appearance by Marvin (as I’ve decided to call him).
I’m yours, you’re mine. Automatically sunshine. ๐
Glad to see the exhibits being rehoused in time for the bicentenary in 2029.
Might be interesting #Wirral Art After Dark comes to Birkenhead | Wirral View wirralview.com/events/ar…
Last time I was at Goodison was 30th December 1969. It was perishing.
great video of friday’s glow green walk for clatterbridge cancer charity. www.youtube.com/watch
Finished (and home).
Halfway
Made it. Like my cozzie?
Started a Pixelfed account. I’ve never used Insta so I’m somewhat clueless but will use it to post most of the photos from tonight’s expedition. My guess however is that we’ll be a moving notspot so updates may be infrequent.
This sounds interesting, possibly a must-see even. I wonder how it strikes a balance between immersion and throughput.

Frosty jog/walk this morning with the view across the Wirral lost in the mist. Heard three woodpeckers in the cemetery yesterday but none today. Can’t blame them if they were avoiding the chill.
Signed up for Glow Green night walk on Friday in aid of Clatterbridge Cancer Hospital. There may be photos…
First song thrush heard this morning. Pair of male mallards knocking seven bells out of each other on the mere. Even the normally placid moorhens are taking exception to an interloper. That time of year, I guess.
Update on consequences of recent cyber incident at #Wirral University Hospital Trust. Much as expected unfortunately. go.theregister.com/feed/www….
Chinese New Year dekkies much in evidence in Liverpool this morning. #YearOfTheSnake
