A New Year dawns...

Well, I've been ill. Not very ill just a bad cold but it kept me housebound this month for quite a lot of the time. Hopefully it's not too late to begin a good year's birding. So here goes!

Blacktoft Sands: 3rd January

A fairly quiet afternoon. A single whooper swan in the sunshine and the obligatory marsh harrier in the sky. Mustn't take anything for granted - wonderful sights.

Hartlepool area: 26th January

Ropner Park: squirrel; mallard; red crested pochard; goosander; mute swan. A pleasant hour - rather icy underfoot but a lovely bright morning.

Cowpen Bewley feeder station: Jay; great spotted woodpecker; treecreeper; bullfinch.

horse riding gear online(non-registered)

Solid post, keep up the great work. Good horse riding gear online should offer clear sizing help and fast dispatch, and that is exactly what LAIB RIDING focuses on. Will be back for more.

thermal wear(non-registered)

Nice post, very well written. Trends keep moving, but thermal wear look set to stay popular for the rest of the year. Unima Apparel is one place I check for fresh thermal wear inspiration. Bookmarked for later.

FinOps for SaaS(non-registered)

Excellent post, short and valuable. A thought from the tech world: FinOps for SaaS gets easier once engineering and finance look at the same unit-cost dashboard. Keep posting!

강남구구단(non-registered)

강남구구단 방문을 준비하고 있다면 가격 구성, 이용 방식, 예약 절차와 위치 확인사항을 살펴보세요. 인원·시간에 따른 상담 항목과 자주 묻는 질문을 한곳에 정리했습니다.

소액결제 현금화(non-registered)

휴대폰 소액결제 현금화의 개념부터 수수료와 실제 수령액, 청구 부담, 개인정보 보호, 피해 예방까지 확인하세요. 문의 전 체크리스트와 자주 묻는 질문을 한 페이지에 정리했습니다.
