I took Monty out for a walk in the field behind the house this afternoon.
He needs the exercise, and so do I.
I brought the camera and took photos of Seagulls, Robins, a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), common plantain (Plantago major), common burdock (Arctium minus), some green algae in a pool of water, and a dead worm (Deadus wormus a.k.a. Birdus foodus).
If I were hungry and lost in the wilderness I could roast up the roots of the plantain and burdock for the starch. I suppose I would eat the seagulls too. Well, probably not.
The Killdeer is a protected species, so I would avoid eating it.
Cheers,
Mungo
