Pero este año han regresado parejas a nidos que llevaban años sin ocupar, de hecho ha sido muy productivo con muchos pollos que han salido adelante. <br />Me ha encantado este reportaje y por cierto el Magnum es mi helado favorito, jejeje. Enhorabuena Richard, un fuerte abrazo desde España.

Now you've thrown a spanner in the works with your statement about plastics and fish. Lindsay and I are both doing as much as we can to not use single-use plastics, but I don't think either of us had thought about the danger of ingesting plastics through the consumption of fish. Not sure that the deep-sea fish will be less dangerous - huge amounts of plastic have been found even in the deepest parts of the oceans.<br /><br />With my very best wishes - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-56537995050543932232018-08-25T19:09:03.829+01:002018-08-25T19:09:03.829+01:00Hello, Bob.

I believe that they have only recently started to reach as far north as the soutyh of Scotland. Other owls, such a Short-eared and Long-eared should be easier for you to find that it is for me to find them.<br /><br />Sorry, but I have to continue to thoroughly test the Magnum Theory. '♫ Just One Cornetto ♫' would probably stretch my scientific principles a step too far - even if you did '♫ Give It To Me ♫'.

I would be so excited if I had been with you. As for the Double Raspberry Magnum, I have never heard of them, but they do sound good.<br />As for David's comment on sardines - we have been told not to eat sardines or mackerel, they are full of plastic! If you want to eat fish eat the ones that live deep and not on the surface. We love fish, but we are learning to be a bit picky where they come from!<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend, DianeRhodesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159888599601532530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-31347988353428180612018-08-24T19:09:30.099+01:002018-08-24T19:09:30.099+01:00Hi Richard

Now as for these Double Raspberry Magnums I think you will need to walk to Rutland and back to burn off all those calories, and go to the doctor for a serious check on your blood sugar levels! And who knows, perhaps by walking, even on a non Magnum day, you will score six Little Owls? Be sure to take your tent for the overnight stays along the route. I hear that canned sardines are a recommended high energy food for this kind of jaunt, hardly as tasty as raspberry, chocolate dipped decadence but it will have to do.
