Hello Hello Its me Mr P.  Who wants to see a picture of my 11 week old chicky P?

Here we go then.

She's taking after her mum and has already out grown me.  She's been making a name for herself amongst the local gulls as I can't tell you how many times I've seen her being sent packing by them.  Last week she stooped at one over the weir and it did't think much of it and chased her around the empire, across parade gardens and back to St. Johns.  Although she's giving the local pigeons a run for their money.  Not caught one yet though.

 

Hats off to the local cormorant.  He caught yet another eel on Monday!  Not the only fisher on the Avon though as the Kingfisher keeps passing by plus I saw a lesser black back catch a couple of fish too.

All this talk of food's made me hungry so I'm off to catch a pigeon for dinner.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
