hello richard,time passes too quick -getting slower ,takes longer. I had a card from Sutton yesterday, so I thought it was time to shake myself and I will write Kay an update for last year.

Life for you is still a busy and interesting one, reading the above is a reminder of your travelloges from Saudia A to Eaton Socon.

Hope these rains have bypassed you, it sure looks bad in Rio.
The cold weather here is curtailed “the shed”. Fotunately Dave replaced the plastic roof on the conservatory with board and felt so we had a much warmer home.
We have replaced our vehicle and I have regained confidence to go more than 50 mile radius Sutton will return to the radar again.

John must be relaxing now, I note that linesiding has moved into model field.

To the first comment writer ( In Portugues) Your “patos” would be neo-tropical Cormorant or “Bigua” in Portugues. They would be passing back and forth from their roosting grounds which are normally in trees on islands, probablty in Barra da Tijuca, and their hunting grounds (they feed on fish) mostly in brackish in-land waters. probably in Lagoa de freitas and the Barra region/ jacarepagua, in rivers & lakes RR

boa noite SR Richard,eu não sou observadora de pássaros mas voltando deste carnaval chuvoso no Rio, fiquei fascinada com a quantidade de patos que vão e vem principalmente pela manhã em São Conrado onde estive hospedada.

Vc teria alguma informação para mim ? de que espécie são,onde vivem e para onde vão ?
è intereessante notar que quase sempre, eles vem perto da praia no sentido sul norte e voltam lá longe no mar no sentido norte sul,e algumas vezes, passam no meio dos predios vindo sobre o campo de golfe Gavea,passando abaixo da minha varanda que ficava no 11o andar entao pude ve-los em formaçao , por cima !
ficaria muito agradecida com alguma info !
