Things I'm really liking right now

Full Metal Alchemist. Thanks, bravenewcentury!

Pukka herbal teas. I want to try each and every one. We have 5 different kinds currently on hand.

The abundant bird life here. I'm not very good with my birds, but I know I've seen magpies, ravens, swans, hawks (maybe kestrels or kites?), mourning doves, and various other kinds of finches and blackbirds, and other birdies.

The cold clear weather, and the dark.

*g* I'm glad you're enjoying it! FMA is highly addictive.

Oooh, I loved FMA too!

You are unlikely to have seen ravens in toem or even on the outskirts. The crows can be massive here & are easily mistaken for ravens unless you are familiar with them. Ravens rarely show up around towns in Wales. They prefer mountains & craggy places.

Kestrels are much smaller than the magnificent red kites which are instantly identifiable by their forked tails. The 'mourning doves' are likely to be wood pigeons.

Just Google them all ~ they are are loads of fab pictures of birds that hang out in Wales! Don't forget buzzards ~ you will see plenty of them too.

Awesome. Thank you. The beaks of what I was assuming to be ravens due to their size do not look like what I am used to seeing on ravens. In Alaska the ravens are the size of hawks! They're massive.

Thank you for the difference between kestrels and kites. The kites are really really beautiful. Wood pigeons sounds like mourning doves? Unless there are daytime owls. Something is making a who-who sound in the cemetery.
