US keeps eagle eye on National Bird!!


What a magnificent bird.I remember seeing my first truely wild one...in Canada in 2004.
The sight will stay with me forever!

I love Eagles you would never realise it would you? And Birds of Prey too.

But I do like all birds even the dull brown ones as no bird is really dull!!

Some good news and some bad

Well two items of news regarding birds I see today.

Good news re Bald Eagles in the States.
But some bad news about our seabirds around St Kilda.

Tropical giant penguin discovered

Well so much is being uncovered a giant penguin!!

Historic day.

Today we see a new Prime Minister as Gordon Brown takes over from Tony Blair.
I am looking forward to seeing a fresh approach and some different styles of working.

After 10 years in power it is time for Labour to refresh the Government, the Party and the Country.

I am looking forward to seeing Gordon's new Cabinet and other appointments.
