Why I prefer trees to birds

Written by Jean
Wednesday, 18 June 2008
After much debate and a few coms. with Johan I have added a new tick in my effort to get a better hold on this lbj thing - Cape Canary. Now the debate was because this bird is only a vagrant to Mkhuze and herin lies my preferance for trees. THEY DO NOT MOVE (unless you have had a bit much to drink and they jump out to attack you). They conveniently stay in one place while you id. them and (unless you believe a freind of mines theory on migrating trees - told mostly at around 3 in the morning after a few whiskeys) tend to remain within their required geological boundries. ! » 3 Comments 1Comment at Wednesday, 18 June 2008 11:12by Laine ROFLMAO!!! Jean, I have to come visit as I just HAVE to hear the migrating tree story!!! 2Comment at Wednesday, 18 June 2008 11:21by Jean It is very intricate and can only be understood after a number of tots of your favorite tipple. It involves roots, water availability, drought, browse etc, etc, etc. 3Comment at Wednesday, 18 June 2008 11:23by Jackie LOL, and yeah trees are also not psychic when it comes to lenses pointed at them, they definitely stay put!...well other than the migrating one :-/ » Post Comment Only registered users can write a comment.
