Everyone needs sentinels.

Nope. Sorry, can’t come through here.

Seems I’ve suddenly got guard ducks. Maybe they’re reacting to a rooster being introduced to the mix?

Who knows.

Or maybe they’re guarding against these guys who have moved in next door.

It’s a Cattle Egret. A beautiful bird.

Sadly, I was outside with only my 50mm lens and not my zoom lens, so getting a closeup was harder than you’d think.

In other news, scientists have discovered why women think they are fat.

I’d love to know how I would score in one of their tests, seeing as how my brain thinks my body is actually half a step to the left of where it is, leaving me regularly walking into doors or walls or tripping for no reason.

Seems I’m not the only one with fucked up proprioception.

Ha Ha, geese are as good as guard dogs. my mum had one that chased off intruders that he didn’t recognise.

I only think I’m fat if I catch sight of my naked self in the mirror . Then I see the spare tyres hanging around my hips. in clothes, I’m happy with my appearance.

Perhaps your ducks think they are geese 😉

I don’t think I am fat, I know I am. That size number on the tags has nothing to do with my age unfortunately!

LOL I love the guard ducks! 🙂

I’m with Sharon – I don’t think I’m fat either, I know I am by the numbers on my scales.

Ugh. >_<

I want some sentinels. They might keep the solicitors away.

My body thinks it’s half a step to the right… I think we should switch hemispheres… That might set us right.

A better idea might be to move close to the equator…

I spent years thinking I was too thin! No studies on that yet. I love the egret. I hope you manage to get another shot in.

That’s nothing. I can’t see 3D.

I want a pension and a telethon.

Oh, I love those ducks! How cute. Sadly, they wouldn’t look so calm if they were in my yard with my little maniac running around. My poor cat needs a prescription for Valium.
