WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

Here in Northern Ireland lockdown has easied in so much as 10 people can meet outside but still with social distancing.  I still have some walking images to show you before I had torn a ligament in my knee (improving) and you are very welcome to join our walks, albeit still 6' apart! This is a Rock Pipit
 seen at the Long Hole, near the Marina, Bangor

I may not be able to comments as much as usual as I seem to be busier with my many groups so that no one gets cabin fever, so I hope you understand that.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter Z in a word. Bangor Marina has ZILLIONS of boats in it costing even more ZILLIONS of pounds!  Lemon ZEST is the yellow outside portion of its peel. It's often used with or without lemon juice to add tangy flavor to recipes. The SIZE of a Bumble Bee is small and this one was BUZZING from flower to flower.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is X and Y.  Well as you all know I made a big mistake last week and started the alphabet again at A so I have given myself a eXceedingly large YELLOW mark, and worst still 2 "X"s on a YELLOW background.  Also I have just had an X Ray and have to go to see the consultant in hospital about my knee today so I am hoping it is good news but I am still on Crutches/Zimmer and cannot weight bare still.



Below is the YELLOW roof of the cottage on a mural on one of our piers walls, the beautiful open YELLOW petals of the Honeysuckle, my YOUNGER daughter sporting a bright YELLOW top, The YELLOW breast of the Blue Tit and finally YACHTS with their REFLECTIONS in Bangor Marina.
