Hi all
Hi Liz
Hi Flosey - gorgeous rose in your icon :)
thanks Liz, it's one from our garden - from last year
I miss roses - they don't grow well here.
ah, what a pity
we have a rose garden and each rose represents someone dear to us
missing roses sounds like a thorny issue
That's a lovely thing to do. What wonderful memories.
in most cases the person was here when planted
True, Ru.
anyone named bud?
Couldn't think of a clever reply :(
hello everyone
That's still lovely and doesn't change that they're great memories :)

clue for the re8 please
Hi de hi campers
The RE8 I have , Jenny is to re make money?
PT of it I should say.
I have only just started so do not know if that is the one you need.
Good morning? Is anybody here?
Hello, ((Ruby))
Yay, it's ((zzoozz))!!
I wish that today's grid was the size of yesterday's
Yes I did enjoy yesterdays grid so many words!
Yesterday there was too much going on to have time for more than half (I ws happy with that!)
I have a blue tit pecking at my window trying to get in lol
Today will be very quiet; nobody is coming, only the lunch and, hopefully, the mail
It has been doing that for hours now. But everytime I go upto the window it flies off.
Sounds nice, Ruby!
Has it warmed up where you are yet?
We don't have those here; do you know the scientific name so I can look it up in my bird book?
I will check hang on...
Cyanistes caeruleus.
It's a little bit warmer with the occasional gorgeous afternoon, but the nights are still in the 40's
We might get frost on the Sunday morning.
Blue tit sounds better than Cyanistes caeruleus. lol
I get a lot of coal tit on my bird feeder too.
Or it might be the wag tail and not the coal tit. they do look similar.
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
No they are nothing like them.
Just look up tit in the book there should be a lot.
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
or just google blue tit. they are a lovely looking bird.
I keep two "life lists", one for there and one for here
I do a lot of jigidi puzzles of birds and some of them are stunning.
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.
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
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.
sometimes the tiny birds are the fiercest
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.
I agree, Ruby, the sparrow here can make a hell of a noise when they start squabbling lol
Our prettiest bird is a carduelis carduelis, tiny, but nasty to the other birds
<Fr name is chardonneret élegant
I find the starlins here can be pretty nasty to other birds when food is around.
Oh the goldfinch, Ruby! but they are pretty birds though.
no starlings here. Did you know that starlings were introduced to the US by an Englishman?
No goldfinches here, but there is a little green bird, called a verdier, which looks like a finch to me
Oh de4 I feel sorry for them then.
Although they can do the most amazing displays whilst in flight at dusk time. Such amazing patterns!
carduelis carduelis is a European goldfinch.
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
I love our little flying dinosaurs!
lots of birds in the grid
Except the starlins unless they are in small numbers of one or two lol
Only found 50 words as I have been googling birds lol
Have you seen the recreations, made by specialists, of some of the feathered dinosaurs? My sister sends me clippings
I'm enjoying our "bird talk", the grid can wait!
No I have not seen it. But it will be on the BBC at some point no doubt lol
My favourite bird is the king fisher such beautiful feathers!
For the Uk that is.
I've only seen pictures of them
Although saying that I think the robin comes pretty close to being number one too!
They are hard to find really , Ruby. As they like to be ne4 water to feed.
Hence the name lol
no robins here but there is a little bird with a red chest, called a rouge-gorge
They are the same thing Ruby!
The rouge-gorge is a Robin!
You think? They seem smaller to me
So you do have these beautiful birds!
Robins are small.
erithacus rubecula
North American robins are bigger than European robins and are more orange breasted.
Perhaps you are comparing those Ruby?
It is one of my most favorite activities, passive bird-watching
When I still lived in the US, I never looked them up :(
Oh me too, I love birds, well I love all animals but usually on birds come into my garden
Erithacus was created by French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1800, giving the bird its current binomial name of E. rubecula.
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.
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
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.
And hello, Lindrickway & Frances :-)
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
Hi Zoom
Aaww I like the starlings too
and I carry him outside
Oh ruby, that is sad. They make me so happy whenever they come in.
I do not blame you, Dofith. they are okay in small numbers but greedy as hell in large numbers lol
Dying by window must be a pane in the ass
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
I have never seen one, but apparently they are a terrible pest. They (the gov'ts) have had some success with their campaign.
lol Ruru how could you :-0
hello ruru, what are you doing up so ea**y?
Groan ruru.
Lol, ru!
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!
Makes one want to shutter
Have fun zoom.
bye, zzoozz, maybe I'll seeyou later
Bye zooz
Good morning.
Good morning, Sukee
Hi Ruby, how are you?
Feeling OK but could use some sun. How about you?
About the same. I think we will be getting sun today, and it's going to be warm

Make that 2 now, for the A in the third row, last column
Would you like clues for some of the a's?

I'm missing 2 :)
I have Dee's list in my profile if that helps
ditto, Sukee, and still missing central e's
Oh god, how did I miss that al4/4 - I feel like a thicko!
Matty, you always say that, and yet we all miss words that seem fairly obvious in retrospect. Otherwise, this game would seem easy. : D
lol, got it
so what are the stats for the other 2 in that tile?
I think it's ar4 and two ar5
Oops, wrong a
Thought so, I have those
The an5 and an7 have already been clued
Ah, no lickety today.
And I have those
That's the Os done. If I can find that last E, I'll be done with the pesky vowels :)
And thanks for the list Molly :)
Sound like we need the same one
So 3 ar 5/10s
I only have 2
I need an E from the last column - Molly's list will no doubt help :)
I need that E too
It's an en6/21 I think
Which I now have.
Thanks, Molly, see you later, kids, 39 left for later
Vowels are history
ar5 a stadium and ar + not fake
Take care Ruby

Another one of those words that you won't be able to work into casual conversation, Matty : D
Oh, peachy :)

Dee is our hero when Lickety doesn't update
I'm not liking these CO words.
I'm missing a raft of them, starting with the co8 and ending with the co 8 50
Ignore the ending with thing :)
Prince: When Doves Cry
