A tree hugger's day (2)

This oak tree was not selected for being pretty, but for being host to a small flock of starlings. A small flock which has been there for some days now, if not weeks. Not as visible, even when you click to enlarge, as they were audible. But they are, nevertheless, there if you look carefully. Some in flight, thinking better of hanging around while I take pictures of them.

From this particular oak tree, the starlings have a fine view of the jungle crazy golf which perhaps prompts ancestral memories. Click on the jungle tab at http://hortonparkgolf.com/. We will get to play one day.

Home to read about jobs in the history department at UCL. Where, if had a doctorate, at least one outstanding published publication (on the stocks or online do not count), an imaginative project on the go, university teaching experience and a passion for the promotion of history in all its aspects to the inhabitants of Gower Street, I might earn rather more than a bus driver and rather less than a train driver. Which puts history in its proper place in the world.
