"Nature doesn't vote in the Red Wall so fuck Nature" shouts Blue Labour, from a high tower....

They can build on brown sites in towns and cities, but instead they choose American Sprawl because we are to live as Americans.....or else.

"Fuck you Nature, fuck your feelings!"

Our Garden Visitors (C-D)

I'm going to use these pages to list and ID by photograph the birds that we commonly get visiting the feeders or the garden in general, I may create another page for those less common appearances. I will try to use only shots from the garden but will label any that aren't but used as examples. I'm also going to try to keep images of the young birds to a separate blog.
