clue for the re8 please

3:16 am

GroovyKiwi

Hi de hi campers

3:34 am

zoozzoom

The RE8 I have , Jenny is to re make money?

3:34 am

zoozzoom

PT of it I should say.

3:34 am

zoozzoom

I have only just started so do not know if that is the one you need.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

Good morning? Is anybody here?

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Ruby))

3:44 am

rubyfoo

Yay, it's ((zzoozz))!!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

I wish that today's grid was the size of yesterday's

3:45 am

zoozzoom

Yes I did enjoy yesterdays grid so many words!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday there was too much going on to have time for more than half (I ws happy with that!)

3:46 am

zoozzoom

I have a blue tit pecking at my window trying to get in lol

3:46 am

rubyfoo

Today will be very quiet; nobody is coming, only the lunch and, hopefully, the mail

3:46 am

zoozzoom

It has been doing that for hours now. But everytime I go upto the window it flies off.

3:47 am

zoozzoom

Sounds nice, Ruby!

3:47 am

zoozzoom

Has it warmed up where you are yet?

3:48 am

rubyfoo

We don't have those here; do you know the scientific name so I can look it up in my bird book?

3:48 am

zoozzoom

I will check hang on...

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Cyanistes caeruleus.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

It's a little bit warmer with the occasional gorgeous afternoon, but the nights are still in the 40's

3:50 am

zoozzoom

We might get frost on the Sunday morning.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Blue tit sounds better than Cyanistes caeruleus. lol

3:51 am

zoozzoom

I get a lot of coal tit on my bird feeder too.

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Or it might be the wag tail and not the coal tit. they do look similar.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I got the book. The closest thing , Latin-Wise, is Cyanopica cyanus, which is a kind of blue magpie and they're not this far north, mainly in Spain

3:54 am

zoozzoom

No they are nothing like them.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Just look up tit in the book there should be a lot.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I keep my guide book in front of the window closest to the feeder and have learned the naes of all the birds who come there (Jimmy, Sarah, Emma, LOL) because, though similar, they are different from US birds

3:55 am

zoozzoom

or just google blue tit. they are a lovely looking bird.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I keep two "life lists", one for there and one for here

3:56 am

zoozzoom

I do a lot of jigidi puzzles of birds and some of them are stunning.

3:57 am

zoozzoom

It is doing it again lol I hope it does not hurt itself as it keeps flying into the window then pecking then trying again..sily thing.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I have at least one bird crash a day which most survive, but I have to make sure the dogs don't decide to play with it

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Ah I have just found out that it is attacking its own reflection as it is fighting for the territory as it has built a nest ne4 by.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

sometimes the tiny birds are the fiercest

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Yes I have seen that before when they have had a good wash in the bird bath and then can not fly high enough to miss the window.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Ruby, the sparrow here can make a hell of a noise when they start squabbling lol

4:03 am

rubyfoo

Our prettiest bird is a carduelis carduelis, tiny, but nasty to the other birds

4:04 am

rubyfoo

<Fr name is chardonneret Ã©legant

4:04 am

zoozzoom

I find the starlins here can be pretty nasty to other birds when food is around.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Oh the goldfinch, Ruby! but they are pretty birds though.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

no starlings here. Did you know that starlings were introduced to the US by an Englishman?

4:06 am

rubyfoo

No goldfinches here, but there is a little green bird, called a verdier, which looks like a finch to me

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Oh de4 I feel sorry for them then.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Although they can do the most amazing displays whilst in flight at dusk time. Such amazing patterns!

4:08 am

zoozzoom

carduelis carduelis is a European goldfinch.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

The starlings have taken over many neighborhoods, like in NY where I grew up. When I lived in upstate NY, once a year or so, if there was a spring storm, goldfinches in big flocks would land in the yard

4:09 am

zoozzoom

I love our little flying dinosaurs!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

lots of birds in the grid

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Except the starlins unless they are in small numbers of one or two lol

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Only found 50 words as I have been googling birds lol

4:11 am

rubyfoo

Have you seen the recreations, made by specialists, of some of the feathered dinosaurs? My sister sends me clippings

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I'm enjoying our "bird talk", the grid can wait!

4:12 am

zoozzoom

No I have not seen it. But it will be on the BBC at some point no doubt lol

4:13 am

zoozzoom

My favourite bird is the king fisher such beautiful feathers!

4:13 am

zoozzoom

For the Uk that is.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I've only seen pictures of them

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Although saying that I think the robin comes pretty close to being number one too!

4:15 am

zoozzoom

They are hard to find really , Ruby. As they like to be ne4 water to feed.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

Hence the name lol

4:15 am

rubyfoo

no robins here but there is a little bird with a red chest, called a rouge-gorge

4:16 am

zoozzoom

They are the same thing Ruby!

4:16 am

zoozzoom

The rouge-gorge is a Robin!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

You think? They seem smaller to me

4:17 am

zoozzoom

So you do have these beautiful birds!

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Robins are small.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

erithacus rubecula

4:18 am

Lindrickway

North American robins are bigger than European robins and are more orange breasted.

4:18 am

Lindrickway

Perhaps you are comparing those Ruby?

4:19 am

rubyfoo

It is one of my most favorite activities, passive bird-watching

4:19 am

rubyfoo

When I still lived in the US, I never looked them up :(

4:19 am

Lindrickway

Oh me too, I love birds, well I love all animals but usually on birds come into my garden

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Erithacus was created by French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1800, giving the bird its current binomial name of E. rubecula.

4:20 am

Frances

Good morning ruby and zoom. Just thought I would tell you that we have a family of robins and they come in and out of the house all day. They are very tame.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

I am trying to get the robin that comes in my garden to come into my house too, Frances, but has not happened yet lol

4:21 am

dofith

I live in Western Australia; we are almost starling-free, thanks to the Nullarbor Plain, deserts etc between us and eastern states. They actually have traps set up and people must report sightings to keep us that way.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

And hello, Lindrickway & Frances :-)

4:21 am

rubyfoo

That is lovely, Frances! My rouge-gorge is a widower who wife crashed into the window and died. Sometimes he walks into the house looking for her

4:21 am

Lindrickway

Hi Zoom

4:22 am

Lindrickway

Aaww I like the starlings too

4:22 am

rubyfoo

and I carry him outside

4:22 am

Frances

Oh ruby, that is sad. They make me so happy whenever they come in.

4:22 am

zoozzoom

I do not blame you, Dofith. they are okay in small numbers but greedy as hell in large numbers lol

4:23 am

rururocks

Dying by window must be a pane in the ass

4:23 am

rubyfoo

The house and garden are very bird-friendly, lots of sunflower seeds and fruiting and flowering shrubs and trees, no cats, a fishpond for water

4:24 am

dofith

I have never seen one, but apparently they are a terrible pest. They (the gov'ts) have had some success with their campaign.

4:24 am

zoozzoom

lol Ruru how could you :-0

4:24 am

rubyfoo

hello ruru, what are you doing up so ea**y?

4:25 am

Frances

Groan ruru.

4:25 am

dofith

Lol, ru!

4:26 am

zoozzoom

alas it is time for me to see parents. Thank you all for a wonderful chat today. Hope you all have a great day/evening!

4:26 am

rururocks

Makes one want to shutter

4:26 am

Frances

Have fun zoom.

4:26 am
