It looks like I might be back on the bike again this afternoon before I play netball tonight. More exercise!

Much clearer markings and yellow throat, and a red rump.<br />Many more spots on head than your bird is showing, too.<br />One day you will get lucky, so keep riding your bike out there, and if nothing else, you will get fitter.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
