Some dinosaurs evolved into birds. <br /><br />It's wonderful to watch the chicks growing into fledglings and taking their first tentative 'steps'. <br /><br />Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719793163535797854.post-13327297085003418322017-04-16T00:33:50.645-07:002017-04-16T00:33:50.645-07:00I saw one very close up when I was walking in the ...I saw one very close up when I was walking in the Cheviots one time. It flew almost over my head, and descended towards a river behind me. That was a wonderful moment. <br /><br />No problem. Comments for bard on the run or poet in residence can be left here. I had to restrict comments on those two blogs to preserve my sanity because every time I allowed them the world and his dog moved in with lists of dubious sites. <br /><br />Thanks. The training is going well. I like the increased rest days. Keeps my energy level up and avoids injury. Many people train too much. I was guilty of that in the past. <br /><br />Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719793163535797854.post-50996144205364104832017-04-16T00:20:51.248-07:002017-04-16T00:20:51.248-07:00There's another nest a couple of miles from th...There's another nest a couple of miles from this one and an osprey returned there from Gambia where it had been photographed and its ring number confirmed.
