Bog Myrtle & Peat

In moving things from my old laptop to my new computer (a very fancy iMac), I found this picture of my much loved pet blackcock who lived in the garden for a couple of years before passing on to the great lekking ground in the sky in 2013. I learnt a huge amount from studying this bird, despite his captivity, and it was a constant source of delight to hear him calling through the bedroom windows in the morning.

RIP.
