Some bizarre cropping afflicted that photo yesterday of 10-day old quail chick Glee, getting even more white feathers. So, here she is again, this time not headless. 🐦
I enjoyed Captain Marvel. It had humanity, humour and heart along with the fights and chases and whatnot. I’ve left feeling ‘warm’. 😻
Quail chick Glee is getting more white feathers by the day. 10 days old and does not like me picking her up! 🐦
Well, I finally sent out the community newsletter for February. Now to start on the March issue. We had a glitch around approvals. A surprisingly large number of things happen around here.
While I’ve run out of day before I’ve run out of things I planned or hoped to do, I feel pretty pleased with what I have achieved today. 👍
My quail are Coturnix Coturnix as in the photo of the bird in the hand below. 🐦
They’re similar to, but not the same as, California Quail, with the distinctive curl on the head: California quail, adult male. Photographed by Yathin sk, in Point Reyes National Seashore, California
Glee's feathers are coming along nicely. 🐦
To get a decent photo of quail chick Glee, now 7 days old, I had to grab her then hold the squirmer in one hand while snapping shots with the other.
I love the ‘not amused’ look in the last photo.

Hard to believe it’s taken this long for women to be acknowledged like this:
shearer Emily Welch won the first Golden Shears event for women yesterday … at the 59th championships … The 39-year-old… holds the women’s world record of 648 lambs in nine hours.
Ironic really, when you’re at a dead stop in the now usual congestion. 90 minutes to reach Otaki. Normally a 15 minute drive. The sign says: Horowhenua are you moving here.
I was about to hammer in stakes to support frost cloth when I spotted this large Paper Wasp nest only a few centimetres away. Fly spray dealt to them quite quickly.
This is my friend Willow whose people are dealing with a family emergency today. After a morning on her own, I’m allowed to take her for a walk then home with me. After her favourite dog treat though. 😎 🐶
What a splendid morning at the beach!
I think someone mentioned the other day that there aren't enough cat photos round here? Aphra. 😀 🐈
This is a good start: Auckland Council will be lobbying the government to stop the sale of private fireworks.
Last year Fire and Emergency received more than 100 firework-related calls on Guy Fawkes day, the highest number since 2012.
Now other Councils should join in.
Is it possible to have too many photos of a baby quail? Here's baby Glee at 3 days. 🐦
I’d forgotten how big a pile 15 cubic metres of mulch makes. Most went down by the gate, a (too) small portion arrived at the top of the drive, by the house. Now I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Pleased to see baby Quail, Glee, up and about this morning, strolling through the chick food. This is Day Three.
Last night wasn’t so cold and I moved the run to fresh grass and with a deep pile of fresh straw in their house. 🐦
Quail chick Glee, 2 days old, is thriving. 🐦
Brrrr: that's a chilly summer morning: 3.4C.
