If you can't beat them...

Greenfinch ( Chlorosis chlorosis )

A very quiet New Year's Eve unlike any we have had this millennium.  From before the Millenium and until she died we celebrated with "the late Mate" and his wife.  After she died it was just the three of us.  We had a sort of film festival, we all chose films we wanted to see and over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day watched them projected on toa 2.2m (7') screen.

This year there were just the two of us, so we watched some things on TV and pottered about until 24:00, along with a few drinks of course, then off to bed.  In the past, we would have watched at least another film before bed.

As we didn't go anywhere I contented myself with a shot out of the window of a Greenfinch.  Actually, I was very pleased to see it as their numbers have crashed in recent years, and we have seen very few recently I hope that isn't indicative of Avian Flu having reduced numbers still further.
