Wooden Boats

If you love boats, work in wood,or on boats this is a great way to break that cabin fever you might be having about now. I started yesterday and I'm 3/4 through it.

I watched one of these beauties stalk a fish for about 10 minutes yesterday. He caught a small unidentifiable fish after a while .The interesting thing is that he didn't eat it .He held it for a few minutes then dropped it back in the water over and over again.After about 5 minutes of this ,which attracted numerous other wading birds it just walked away looking for a better meal .I guess!!!!
The day before one was gorging itself in front of the cottage eating fiddler crabs for hours.

The Globetrotter can't wait for spring and the old fruit trees are waiting for a trim
