...at the caption to pic 3

(Is it me? )

Lol!

blue-birds?

I have one in my garden.... thought it was called something different though, a different colour methinks.

PMSL not just you!

Aha! Those robins of the bluebird genus?

scary! er they're robins aren't they?! very cute

That'll be one of those "menage a trois" things then.

Happy Anniversary, anyway!

Oh I didn't even get on to the bluebird thing I just thought it sounded like the birds were celebrating their anniversary!

They are bluebirds. Their backs are blue.

And together for 20 years too.

And not only that, but the caption says something about "US snow storms" but most of the pictures are of Toronto ... erm, isn't that in Canada?

Maybe they are very cold.

Obviously no-one ever played them Winter Wonderland lol

Oh bless, did you see the Royal Marines moustache competition?

I know this one!

They are always doing this, the loons; I remember a load of them having a bet where the loser had to grow a massive tache for a friend's wedding - the best man lost . He sported this massive ginger tache for the ceremony, then hurriedly shaved it off before the photos - so he has a very distinct tan line in all the pictures

yes, some of them are rather nice looking ;)
Oh well all the girls love a Marine

The bird called a robin in the US is a totly different species of bird to the one called a Robin in the UK.

Quite a few different animals of different specis share the same common name between the US and UK.

Most of the founding fathers and mothers were city folk and had little understanding of wildlife!

American bluebirds do look similar to the European ones

Couldn't view the link.

Bluebird

Didn't work either. Thanks anyway.

NAB, go to the BBC site. Look at In Pictures, US snowstorm.

oooh Lapin, you lucky sod! He is rather dashing with that 'tashe!

oh NAB that was a link worth clicking on.
number 2 is my fave

It was my computer that was the problem. Seen them now. Thanks.

Toronto is in canada. I am living in this walloping of snow. Not that is is over, it was fun. We are going sliding today. We had about 4 feet of it. ONe of my kids jumped in and went up to his waist.
