Plucky Tree

Time for my annual recap, presented in 4K (where available). As I’m retired and living in a house with 15 birds, there’s excessive bird-centric content.

Looking back at my photo library from 2021 is a great way to remember all the good times and conveniently ignore the bad ones. Here are the broad highlights of the year. ⬇

• I started doing intensive training with the birds, which has been more successful than I expected.
