Oh yes, love the birds here! When I posted this morning I hadn't had enough tea to remember more of the non-British birds I see here than [American] robins, falcons & eagles--that was a pretty lame list!

Now that my brain is working I can add: blue jays, nuthatches, chicadees (love that chicadees say their name! & so cute too!), titmouses (titmice?), goldfinches, barn swifts, towhees (aka 'ground robins' who say "drink your teeee") and we've even seen some bizarre-looking wild turkeys running about. . . . And we don't even live way out in the country!!

I've not seen a hummungbird, though--would love to! One may need a special feeder to attract them (?) & we're afraid to put out any feeders due to several cats in this neighbourhood that are ferocious hunters . . . .

Same for Wales and Scotland, but you'd probably not want to do either in either

I'm free!

There's nowt wrong with a good old British beach. Stones that can shear your foot clean off and water that's a few degrees warmer than the surface of Pluto.

It's bracing and character building

SultanOfSwing

Yes, so do I. I married one

Skiing in Wales? There is that odd little ski lift thing in the Lakes that gets two days use every fourth year, so maybe include England too. I did not know Wales had claim to any skiing.

Oh happy days...Sunday day trips to Skeggie and Cleethorpes.

Oh yeah, the different wild life is pretty cool.

Bluejays and Cardinals are pretty nice...and eagles as well as the variety of hawks and what not.

Hummingbirds, they're a bit annoying, pretty though, but wish they'd eat the bugs instead

Oh and bear in the wild is kinda cool...have yet to see a moose in the wild though, despite living just off an area called Moose Alley for a while, just not that bothered to get up at 3 in the morning. They're weird, dopey animals anyway.

There's still the issue of the language barrier as well.

He looks like he'd be more at home on Brighton beach if you ask me

zargof

Great tit?

SultanOfSwing

Two, actually.

Yes to Wildlife.
Urban Eagles.
Seals just off a city beach
Racoons running around the streets, they are cute, even if they are just over sized rats.
You can forget about the bears that just means you can not cook in a tent, which is a pain.

zargof

Isn't that bigamy?
