Friday Feathered Friend
It is not Friday but this image and words from Louise Thomas is too good to ignore.
"Wallace resented being called a cattle egret, he'd never stood on the back of a cow in his life. He was an inner city sports field bird, and preferred his worms with a hint of petroleum and sprinkled with NPK fertiliser. Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis), Wellington College No 1 field on Sunday. Bird #43 in 2023."
