One against the odds
I thought it was about time I posted another of my bird pictures. This was taken just after mid-day, not a good time for photography but the bird was there and so was I and I did not want to miss the opportunity. It's a blue-cheeked bee-eater.

I'm only patient since I haven't been able to log on.

I'm glad you posted that picture of Mickey Mouse as it leads me to my next topic. Did you know Mickey Mouse wears an Alan-Frans watch?

I did not know that, Adrian. Can you post a photo of one of those? I've forgotten what it looks like!
