My Feathered Friends

These two are here most days, and invariably I think of Rossini whenever I spot them...



Can you guess why? Yes, it's his always delightful and famous piece of music that always makes me smile throughout its duration. It's obviously, really...

This (fractionally up-tempo from the ideal) performance of La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) overture is by the Wiener Philharmoniker (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra) conducted by Claudio Abbado...

  1. Tbh, I tend to shoot the noisy feathered vermin if they show up near my house. There are far better (and nicer mannered) specimens of the avian variety than the equivalent of Labour politicians aka magpies around.

    1. That's a bit sad, especially as my two behave impeccably. They merely forage in the grass here as any bird would, and cause no trouble. I seem to be lucky, if others are less well-mannered...

      I blame that common lot from Magpie Hall Road! :o)
