Having said that, I’m pretty impressed at the size of Immutable Mike’s catflap.
Like the gates of Mordor!

We call this situation “having a no responsibility kitty.” Meaning, until the cat moves, the human-furniture has no responsibilities.

Onebox is weirding out the link so I’ll paste in the intro paragraphs. Get out your hankies, tissues, napkins, whatever is near to hand…
A decade ago, Sakae Kato stayed behind to rescue cats abandoned by neighbours who fled the radiation clouds belching from the nearby Fukushima nuclear plant. He won’t leave.
“I want to make sure I am here to take care of the last one,” he said from his home in the contaminated quarantine zone. “After that I want to die, whether that be a day or hour later.”

Yesterday in Eläintarhanlahti, Helsinki southern Finland.
Few days ago same place.
For some reason mallards are called sinisorsa (blue duck) in Finnish.

Great timing in the photo to catch the beautiful flash of purple on the wing! So dapper!

Maybe not a brilliant picture but a confirmation there is a stable breeding colony of rare spoonbills forming just a pleasant walk away from my front door

this is Dot, the friendliest squirrel of the lot, perched in the palm tree just over my head clutching a peanut from the feeder. she will take peanuts from my hand. she and her siblings, Yakko and Jakko, greet me in the mornings when I come out to fill the peanut bins. their antics in the trees are so fun to watch.
downside to all of this: I now have peanuts in every garden, every container, every pot growing where these rascals “squirrel them away” by burying them everywhere!. that, and raw whole peanuts have gone up nearly $1/lb!
