unfortunately for me the haters (medical and mental health professionals) were right and regular exercise really is helping my mental health

Remember this
Just one Black Vulture (another new species for me!) came in for food, but it was slightly insane to have three Vulture species huddled together like that 🤯

On a lead just in case but she's remarkably calm around the chickens for a dog that gets sent feral by a Pheasant

Ringing at Kenfig today felt distinctly autumnal with Redwing, Blackbird, Goldcrest, but then for some reason a Whitethroat??? In October?!

Whitethroat is exceptionally late and the first October record for Kenfig Ringing Group

Might make a compilation video of whatever this is that my dog always does at the end of her weaves 😂

I can't run if she's in the weaves or she gets excited and loses her rhythm 😂

Nice run this evening! Was it fast? Nope, but I can comfortably run for over an hour these days and I think that's super cool 🤩

This screengrab from a video taken today honestly sums up what it's like to run this dog 😂

Once again we were one fault away from a clear win

In agility you are placed first by fewest faults (each fault being worth 5 points, except time which is done by seconds), then by course time. So you don't always have to be the fastest if you're the only perfectly accurate!

The bots are getting into twitching
That Wryneck list is a strong day, but chasing a "Mega" after already scoring five scarce migrants risks turning the trip into a checklist. Do you count the day as a win before the rarity shows, or only after?

Wrong. I (undiagnosed) meticulously ordered and protected my cards into sleeves then binders 😂
I disagree. Collecting cards as kids was magical because no one cared about wear, scratches, folds etc. we carried our beloved cards in our pockets, backpacks, pencil boxes, and in rubber bands. No one cared about pristine 10’s No one cared about how much their cards would be worth in 20 yrs You traded the rarest cards for a basic holo bc you liked the pokemon Every crease and tear on these cards remind me of when collecting cards was meant to be - enjoyed, not monetized. Kids these days are more worried about pulling the highest value card and then storing it perfectly in the dark until they sell it. <\3
