Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.

 

Carole King is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who has been active since 1958. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years.

 

Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter.

The Hooded Merganser:

 

Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )

 

Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.

 

Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.

 

The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

RIP, Don White, 11/26/21.

 

My uncle Don passed away this morning. He was the original record collector in our family, starting back in the 78 rpm era. He had the largest collection of music of anyone that I have personally known. This was just a small portion of his collection that he was able to take with him when he had to move into a retirement home. Keep that vinyl spinning...

Without the knife ,this could be just a close up of a rose ,so I drew a cutting knife to show how big the rose is.

A first for me. Always envied other folk capturing this. Hopefully I'll get a closer shot soon.

First listened music (Opera classics) on one of these type of gramophones. I saw this last summer, wish I had purchased it, went back after 10 days and it was gone. I'm wandering if my grandchildren would know what it is?

We put an electric heater and a water bowl on our patio. I keep warm water in the bowl and the birds are sure enjoying it. Not a very good picture through the class and a screen.

Our area is not prepared for the weather we are having.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines.

“Record Store UK” was a nationwide event that was scheduled for the 18th April but obviously didn’t go ahead.

 

There is great interest nowadays in vinyl records, cassette tapes and other means of recording music that had been thought of as being largely defunct and this has spawned a wealth of smaller, independent retailers dealing in them.

 

Vinyl Attraction in Newark had not been opened long and suddenly had to close again due to the lockdown. The window is always very interesting, with many discs and memorabilia featuring many groups and names from my youth, even some records that I actually owned.

 

The event is put back to June and, as yet, no news as to if it will actually happen.

 

Happy Window Wednesday!

The local community newspaper where the happenings of the day and the week in latest News.

Well chuffed to see this 'unringed' bird fishing along the Cripps River as I was driving home this evening, especially after telling people for days, we'll have an osprey here by the end of the week and then not seeing one... Good job I wasn't looking the other way as I crossed the bridge, or I would have missed it.

Shot through the reeds at Westhay. Nice to get one on the deck for a change :@)

Needless to say, I'll be going back for more. :@]

 

Steart.

Bit of a surprise to see this splendid otter pop up in front of the hide at Catcott lows today.

A shot of the stylus in action as the turntable spun.

En record a les barquetes que feian companyia els remers en els seus entrenaments diaris.

Tan debó ben aviat poguem gaudir de nou de la seva presència !

The male I believe... A marked improvement on my last go at this.

This guy was over the Mendip hills, I spent a couple of hours looking for Ring Ouzels and Wheatears on Crook peak but blanked...

The Hobbies should be about now... thought I saw one last week out at Westhay. Can't wait to spend some time with them. Top sport. :@)
