I thought I would raise myself out of my post Christmas lethargy and be the first to post a photo in this new year. This a view of the starlings coming into...
Hi Nigel - great website - site - sight . . . don't you just hate teachers who are poor spellers themselves picking up on your spelling!? Love the starling...
Hi Jeremy Thanks for your kind comments. I stand by my spelling. My Oxford English Dictionary defines 'site' as 'a place where a particular event or activity...
