Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Been through my bird book and the nearest I could find was a petrel but its not quite right!! Gearing up for footy supper right now so no time to search further!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

I would have said it was a Storm-Petrel, but failing that - a Skua ?

Appreciate the effort but a good way out....so to save an unnecessary stuggle the clue was in the description its a Corvid and is usually on the other side of the border and much higher up.
In a sort of obscure tangent, David Cameron in one of his more touchy feely moments urged us to embrace them

How about Hooded Crow? (Mind you as it's British should it not be Bonneted Crow?)

Thats it Mick, otherwise known as the Hooded Crow, or simply the "Hoodie". You'll see Plenty of them if you go on a North Coast 500 Stroll!

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Quite correct, as you already know , I did think it has a resemblance to both the Merc SL and the Audi A4 of 10 years ago, not to mention aromas of the BMW Z series!! Typical Japanese "put all the best bits together" car. I had a drive of one 3 or so years ago and it felt very Lexus like, so not for me!!

Here's one for our CitroJim, a former resident of the parish, which I came across when selecting my pic for "How Many Miles in the Month" and landing on a first day cover of Caerphilly Castles 700th Aniversary in 1971.
From the Archives this little place with the odd name, has cropped up before....
