In Häfen gibt es sie zuhauf. Hier im Niendorfer Hafen noch unbenutzt, aber das Seil liegt schon bereit.

Bollard and rope

There are plenty of them in ports. Still unused here in Niendorf harbor, but the rope is already ready.

Dorset Polls -

I saw some lambs on the 10th November just a couple of miles down the road from these & thought it's so early in the season. Then on the walk on the 12th December near to the previous cliff shots, I viewed these lambs.

Apparently, these are one of two breeds that are the only sheep breed that can breed all year round - ideal for controlling the lambing times. The other breed is the Dorset Horns.

The Dorset Polls fleece is very white in color, strong, close and free from dark fiber and extends down the legs. Their fleece is free from dark fibers. And the fleece averages between 2.23 and 4 kg when shorn.

And that is just about all I know about sheep 😉

Ubiquitous plastic drinking straws illuminated with strong white light at 45 degrees to the long axis of the straw gives the impression of a fibre optic cable!

Have had quite a few Red Polls visit the feeder this winter, but, not as many as last year. I am phasing out the feeding as the snow disappears.

I did have one Red Poll come in with a rusty orange looking spot on it head instead of the ruby red spot. Not sure why. Maybe, a mutation? Never did get a real good shot of it. Last year I had Hoary Red Polls coming in, but, didn’t see any this winter. They are cute little birds.

I am curious to see how this turns out. I personally like to use both, which is why I make both types for make ups.

I know there are pros and cons for both sides of this. But that is always the way of things in SL :D
