I had a stroll through Mudchute Farm this afternoon in the Isle of Dogs on my way to the supermarket.

This fine chap made me laugh, springing up beside me on the fence as if it was keen to be blipped. Rather strange birds aren't they when you look at them closely, with their hanging, raw looking floppy bits.

I bought a mint plant to put in my garden, so my Pimms will never be mintless again!
