I saw Kate Bush wearing her Babooshka outfit at the Ardwick Apollo in 1979, that's something I never will forget, and she still is looking good now she is 50.

OK then: How about a newly arrived Siberian Thrush, - that would be quite nice, (either sex would do), skulking in the garden shrubbery on Christmas morning, seemingly trying to pluck up sufficient confidence to join the more self assured and larger White's Thrush gorging itself on windfall apples, and which has been giving frame filling views since early on Christmas Eve, to such an extent that we've been trying to shoo this latter bird away so that we can get better shots of the Sib. Thrush....
- Dream on ....

I am now just in the process of writing a letter to Santa...asking him to do his very best to help me to find someone to clear the credit card bill when it arrives in early Jan!
Perhaps a little late for some, but I am sure our loved ones, from time to time read what we put on here, so a chance to give a gentle remainder, perhaps or just a wish list.
Me I would like a nice copy of Audubon and his Journals 2 vols. pub 1976 or Birds of Siberia-Seebohm.
oh and a nice showy local Dusky Thrush
