Rook
last Sunday at 17:56
I love wisteria but this one is something else. I want this on our house.
I find this funnier than it is
I wanted to see if I could differentiate the types of crow-looking corvids we see. Turns out it's not that hard?
Small, cute: crow
Bigger, gnarly grey beak: rook
Biggest, scary: raven
We get lots of rooks round here and I've wondered what the differentiators are for ages. Should have just looked it up.
Speaking of things to look up, I took my road bike off the trainer last night and the gearing was destroyed. I only got the 4 highest gears on my rear cog which just isn't going to work for me, so I watched a couple of YouTube videos and then had a go. Turns out it's not that hard - just one of those things where one adjustment might mean you need to redo them all, but now my gearing works really nicely. Probably better than it did before.
Charlotte and I got our first Sunday ice creams (not to be confused with ice cream sundaes) from Southover gardens. We've tried for the last few weeks and they weren't open yet. I was very in the mood for an ice cream but I wanted birthday cake flavour and they didn't have it.
