Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Oh no, get well, mate!

Yes, our singer is a male I’m pretty sure. Of course, it’s hard to tell after sunset whether our blackbird wears a black or brown feather coat, but during daylight I’ve always only seen black ones sit on this roof ridge. It appears that Wikipedia is backing this up a little bit: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsel#Reviergesang

I just added a video. Hmm, filtering the background camera noise also makes the audio rather squeaky. :-(

In-reply-to » The weathermen just cannot be right with their 20°C today, it must have been more. It was awfully hot, the light breeze was not enough and even absent most of the time. In the shade, it was alright. Other than that, the walk to the dairy farm and back was really beautiful. Very lovely scenery.

(Have we established that Azabache is male? 😃)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I should cancel Netflix as well. Back when they started their streaming service, it was a revelation: Finally, I could watch interesting shows in English, without having to wait for years, and legally (I like to be a paying customer, if it’s good). But this is long over. The interesting shows are gone or, once again, I have to wait for years until they’re available on Netflix. So, why bother anymore? 🤷‍♀️

Somebody spilled their paintbox at sunset. Unfortunately, I missed to reinsert the SD card into my camera, so I could not take more photos of Azabache and his new mate. They quickly disappeared. He even landed right next to my window, so that would have been a killer shot.

In-reply-to » They are all very nice @lyse! You truly need some sort of easy to navigate website with them all, categorised, and such… A robot can dream, right? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it is lots of work, but things do not need to happen overnight! Take it easy, baby steps. I think it will be worth it!

¡Muchas gracias @bender@twtxt.net! I was also thinking about categorizing them a few years ago. But it’s so much work. I would have to tag every photo on its own. My use case goes more towards “give me all albums with squirrels”, though. Let’s see. I would need some tooling for easy tagging first. And then, the question is, which categories do I want to have to begin with?

In-reply-to » But it was also a giant food orgy. We had mountains of pretzels, waffels and sweets on top of regular lunch at the canteen, food truck and pizza delivery. Yummy!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hmmm, pizza! With that amount of food (a) I wouldn’t complain, and (b) I will be obese on my return. LOL.
