1938-built Stanier Pacific 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' passes through York station, in the brief company of DRS 68022 'Resolution' in Trans-Pennine Express decals, whilst en-route to Milford Junction for turning. The immaculate condition of the 'Princess Coronation' Class loco is in marked contrast to the Gresley 'A4' that would arrive at York shortly after this.

The classic After Eight choc mint. The only chocolate survivor from our Christmas stash!
HMM! Chocolate
Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Say what?!? These guys do not in the least belong here. I feel so lucky and blessed to have run across them. Most people just drive right by this pond. Not me.
Used for 121 Pictures in 2021 "touch down". They did touch down, here, quite unexpectedly.

All the delicious, yet devilish, Christmas food has been eaten, so it's back to healthy eating now. This was my breakfast this morning.

While not a very good shot I am posting it for two reasons. One it was taken from my lot that I hope some day I will build my retirement home on. Second reason, is this funky consist. A mix of 6-axle and 4-axle units plus SP and Rio Grande units. Not to mention all elephant style and a Grande GP35 just for fun. June 93

A surprise sighting of an octopus tonight, while waiting for a sunset, I knew it was a good omen . There are so many hermit crabs about, and apparently so few Cod, that octopus numbers are on the increase. It's not very common to see them in the Bristol Channel . Eight for eight , by Lee Perry and the Upsetters is perfect. The sky that followed was superb .
Australian Ringneck Parrot.
Barnardius zonarius
Psittacidae
There are several different forms of the Australian Ringneck across its range and each appears slightly different, but they all have one feature in common — a yellow collar that stretches across the bird’s hind neck Aside from appearing different from one another, birds of the different populations also sound different, with pronounced regional variation. For example, the subspecies in Western Australia is often referred to as the ‘Twenty-eight Parrot’ because its contact call is usually rendered as twenty-eight, with the call (and the name) is unknown in other parts of Australia.
The Australian Ringneck is a large parrot, differing in size and plumage in different regions. There are four subspecies, in two main groups. All are mostly green, with an obvious yellow band on the hind-neck. Members of the Mallee group have a mainly green head and neck. The Mallee Ringneck, subspecies barnardi, has a more varied green and blue body, with more yellow underneath and a red frontal band. The Cloncurry subspecies macgillivrayi has much more yellow and pale turquoise around the face. The Port Lincoln group all have dark hoods and are mainly green. The Twenty Eight Parrot, subspecies semitorquatus, has a red frontal band and is all green underneath. The Port Lincoln Parrot, subspecies zonarius, is green and yellow underneath. All subspecies hybridise widely. They are quiet when feeding, but when disturbed fly off with loud alarm calls. Their flight is swift and undulating. This species is also known as the Mallee, Port Lincoln, Banded or Cloncurry Ringneck, Twenty Eight Parrot or Buln Buln.
