It was considered spectacular then.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-17499100020780022372017-09-05T11:38:19.977+01:002017-09-05T11:38:19.977+01:00YP: I can't remember.

I had a more personal connection. But the Stones show was amazing, too, in a different way.<br /><br />Bug: This morning, Abercrombie was back, alongside several other birds on the adjoining seed feeder. So apparently he's not at all troubled by company!<br /><br />Robin: There's nothing worse than having a long dry spell. Except possibly a long wet spell.<br /><br />Catalyst: He's a European goldfinch, as opposed to the American variety (which is an entirely different bird).<br /><br />Linda Sue: Yeah, I thought that was a great idea -- the value of making something real.<br /><br />Sharon: They actually flew it at least twice. The first time it became unmoored and drifted to Kent. The second time it stayed put, and they were able to take their photos.<br /><br />Alphie: Never too old! Give it a listen! :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-76532484163535689132017-09-05T06:15:03.738+01:002017-09-05T06:15:03.738+01:00I'm a bit old for Pink Floyd but I'm not t...I'm a bit old for Pink Floyd but I'm not too old for a goldfinch photo.<br /><br />AlphieAlphie Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041492283753978975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-43376017722859530692017-09-04T18:27:15.391+01:002017-09-04T18:27:15.391+01:00I'm familiar with the "two heads" al...I'm familiar with the "two heads" album cover and pink pig. It never occurred to me that they actually flew a pink pig over that giant building. I'm sure I would enjoy that exhibit. Oh how I wish I could pop into the V & A anytime I wanted. I must say that Abercrombie the Finch is simply brilliant! A perfect name for that colorful fellow.

Otherwise it's just an idea."- that is brilliant, what a good true awesome quote! Dave is hilarious and very clever, that lad. Pink Floyd has been a long time fave-probably because youth and getting stoned and silly- can't wait to see the exhibit!<br />Crows and jays have taken over our house, there may a be a flicker now and then but mostly just these really noisy birds that are so bossy and big. I love them even though they are rascals!<br />Olga- no time for yappy little bitches!

Our goldfinches in Ohio stopped coming to our yard after we put up another bird feeder - I guess they didn't want to hang out with the hoi polloi (house sparrows, grackles, doves, SQUIRRELS, & such).
