I grew up in the city and herons robbing goldfish from garden ponds was all I saw of bigger birds. Way out in the sticks now and I will never get over the joy of seeing buzzards hovering and swooping. Also the privilege of meeting these guys on occasion

I still have this one from over 40 years ago. I was 11/12 so in my dramatic/romantic phase and reveled at being heartbroken about those stories. I haven’t opened it in years - v disappointing to see in another post that there’s anti semitic references.

Boston spent millions on the Big Dig and it took from 1982 to 2007 to put the elevated (& very ugly) Central Artery built in the 50s underground. Dublin was lucky it missed out
