General Chat

Island. If people keep trying to wield the hatchet, I am happy enough to wave it round as well.

Isn't it about time (after 6 months on chat and usually being nice and friendly) that you buried the hatchet. :-S :-S It is boring me a lot now - and others probably. I am not the Welsh WUM that was on these boards 10 years ago - honest!

I looked out of my window earlier and saw a dog trying to bury a bone in lino ;-) :-D

Give it a rest John for goodness sake, stop looking for something that isn't there.



I have all sorts of birds chirping in the hedgerows opposite my window. :-D :-D

From my front Bay,I see the Fishpond, lots of birds feeding and bathing,(They come twice a day, and a few Seagulls,I,m about 5mins walk from the beach,most of them stay there or go inland to the tips to scavenge.

From the kitchen window I see the garden, the trees round the playpark, and lots of birds. :-)

From the front, if I'm lucky I just see the tarmac and ( thank God) a tree across the parking area, , if I'm unlucky I see someone's bleep bleep van stuck four feet away and blocking out most of the already limited light :-P

The views you are putting on here people sound
fantastic.....lucky you :-)

Thank you all for taking time to gaze out of your windows, it has been great reading about all you can see.

:-)

That sounds lovely Carol - swap you one Elizabethan farm house for a field of sheep? :-D

Out of the front windows I can see a converted barn, a dead ash tree with 5 rooks perched in it, a large puddle in which a couple of black birds are taking a bath, fields with sheep grazing, 3 oak trees & a view across the valley.

Out of my back window I can see my bird table, fully stocked earlier this morning, a pied wagtail & a robin feeding from it, 6 blue tits hanging onto fat balls suspended from my washing line, 2 wood pigeons are perched in an oak tree at the bottom of the garden & the sky is rather grey.

The only time we get Gulls flying round here are when the weather at the coast is rough & when a farmer is ploughing.

I can see my trellis's at the bottom of my garden, clematis looking brown and bedraggled and my passion flower is lovley and green :-)....

Also watching a few blue tits admiring my white bird box....... :-)

KITCHEN WINDOW BEFORE 8 AM AND AFTER 5 PM
I CAN SEE
6,400 PARAKEETS
AND IN NOWHERE EXOTIC

Yes Det - I can see seagulls in my garden now. I think they've got their eyes on my little shubunkins :-|

Absolutely, DET. And it was, till Island stuck oar in. :-) Can't stand people mardy harsing about like that, so I tried to gently suggest it was correct to call them all seagullls (both sea Laridae and land Laridae) :-)

Errr 35 F = 1.6C

Sorry edited I worked it out on 45C derrrrr!

So 45F = 7C same as the temp here!

Wasn't this thread about what we can see from our windows? :-S

Gulls, Seagulls, who cares John, they are sometimes known as
flying vermin up here.
Its not a rare sight to see them inland as they get very little at
sea compared to what they can scavenge round the houses,
due to black bags being left outside for them to open up in search
of food and scatter the rest of the rubbish to the winds.
People should use the bins for rubbish. imo

Emma :-)

Spat? What are you on about John?

Move on and stop mardy harsing man!

Btw....haven't you got 200 miles of driving to be getting on with?

Talking of fish - have I already told you that a consultant in gynaecology at our local hospital is called Dr. Fish?

Let's get facts straight as I see them.

1. This is a thread about seagulls inland. A fairly rare sight according to OP. And to me also incidentally. And OP asked what you can see out of your window. Everyone at first was happy to contribute nicely.
2. Island then told two of us that the word was "gulls" not "seagulls". Some gulls lived at sea, some inland.
3. I pointed out that "seagulls" and "gulls" were interchageable in my dictionary - and on Wikipedia. And in everyday language of those who are not acting President of RSPB.

So who caused the spat - me or Island? Yes it is 45F here, which is 35C. Unless some of you are much cleverer that me and know any different. ;-)

One in the hand is worth two - oops, wrong thread! :-S

:-D

Only trimmed and neat ones :-D
