The air
is clear today. The wind turned. It was coming from the west in the afternoon.
The wind turbine also turned. The horrid cold wind from the east has gone. I
heard lots of birds singing - perhaps one of them was a skylark. I couldn't see
it. Yesterday I heard a woodpecker - but I couldn't see that either. However, I
could see lots of seagulls in a distant field near the old mine - too far away
to be heard. Why are gulls white? Is there an advantage in it? Perhaps there's no
need to make colour. There is no camouflage in a green field. Snowdrops are not
camouflaged in the wood because there's no snow. The sheep are white because
the farmers prefer that. White wool can be dyed. Daffodils are coming among the snowdrops. Why are
they yellow? Do they need to attract pollinating insects?
