        It gets terrestrial/freeview TV.
        I ended our Sky satellite sub so we're using the old aerials plus free digital channels through the sky broadband.

              That is so very like our Song Thrush which perches top of a tree to sing

                This little guy has made a little hollow under my red twig dogwood. He likes snipping off the stems of plants and leaving them without eating them. So, you know, basically an a$$hole. Good thing he's cute.

                  We have lots of bunnies roaming through the neighborhood, and the back yard. I’ve named them all Mr. Bun. Doesn’t matter if it’s male or female; I can’t tell. Hello Mr. Bun!

                            We went for a hike on the West Circle trail in the Hyde Memorial State Park a couple of miles north of our house in Santa Fe. Back at the ranger station, a group of Flycatchers were doing their thing. At first they were a bit stand-offish, but as they got used to me they came closer. That, plus a 300mm telephoto ... 😊

                                  A small toad has taken residence in the back yard and is driving the dog insane. He’s too quick to get a picture of.

                                  Birds are mostly Robins and red-wing blackbirds -very nice. Unfortunately they appear to be feeding at someone’s bird feeder and have distributed Amaranth all over the property. Tough stuff - gonna take a while to get rid of it.

                                    I thought houndiepaws (dog #2) was going to go right through the closed kitchen window when our resident garden bunny taunted her yesterday.

                                        Cool bird. I've heard them but only seen one at a distance.

                                        Saw my first Monarch of the year today. No picture.

                                          They stop here while migrating up to around where Steve lives. Wonderful birds. We get some traveling Orioles too.
