So What Is
The Blog Box?

To put it simply the Blog Box is a cross between a web log and a soap box where I can express an opinion, get something off my chest or just point you in the direction of something interesting! Each week I'll include a photo that could be one of my own or possibly a guest image. I'll recommend other sites or perhaps add a topical item or two. In other words it's a bit of free space the content of which will vary and change on an ad-hoc basis but for the latest news there's always the BBC link on the right.

The Living Bird Table

As well as our visit to Eastwood for the latest part in the D H Lawrence series we also found time in the warm weather for a walk around Shipley Country Park where I took a number of photos. I was tempted to use the one below as a jigsaw puzzle but discretion being the better part of valour won the day and I decided against it. I have however used another picture from the same walk as the jigsaw picture.



An area of the park has been designated as the "Living Bird Table" and according to a nearby notice has been cultivated and sown with a mix of seeds to benefit invertebrates and provide a good food source for wild birds. The aim is to create a field of poppy, buckwheat, corn chamomile, corn cockle, corn marigold, cornflower and sunflower and some of those mentioned could well be included in the picture above but don't ask me to identify them! This is just one of a number of projects that keep the Park Rangers busy.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest.

----- J. G. Holland (1819 - 1881) -----
