First week & Attack

Hello, dear friends!

I wanted to make this post fun and colourful, post some pics that Tommy took yesterday and tell you about my first week...

... But this morning we found this guy at the terrace, feathers all over the place, it seems like the work of one of my neighbour's cats!!

We tried to catch it to try to help, but it kept flying and crashing into the walls, it can fly but not high enough to fly away. We couldn't get it, it is VERY small, about 5cm, and we don't know what to do. Over here there are no people to take care of birds or places like the refuges for it to get well.

If we do catch it, then what?? We have no place to leave it and it feels like leaving it in the garden or outside is calling for that cat to come and finish the job. It is currently in the laundry area (we have it outside, it is an open space) and I would really appreciate your ideas and comments on this one, please, keep in mind that we might not have most of the resources you have to take care of hurt birds.

On another note, my first week was exhausting, and I really don't know why, as the 'real work' hasn't begun! I've been reading most of the week: reports, manuals, product details, procedures, etc, etc, etc...

I miss NATURE. I'll keep you posted on the future events. Please, leave a comment on the hurt bird if you have an idea or a story to share.

¡Feliz día de la Tierra! and Update on new job!

First of all, let me wish you a VERY HAPPY EARTH DAY!!! or ¡¡¡MUY FELIZ DIA DE LA TIERRA!!!

I have to thank all my blog friends for the nice comments and the good wishes. It is great to know that someone on the other side of the world or of the continent is thinking about you :)

My new job is an hour and a half away from home. I have to work 48 hours a week. It is a VERY non nature-related job and I have no view :(

It is new to me in many ways, although I know some processes and the lingo of the industry, I'm super nervous and stressed! I have to deal with critical info and many many many reports.

It is an office job, I leave the house at 7am and arrive at around 9pm... Am I going to survive that?? I'm so tired already, and it has been only two days!

I won't have time to go birding as you see. I'll wait for weekends to continue with my thesis and go birding... Tommy and I talked about posting here. If he can go birding or find something interesting I'll post his pictures with my comments (not my ideal, but better than nothing)

I have to apologize in advance for not having enough time to visit you all, I'll try to catch up on weekends, I'm going to miss you!!! It has been so great to read 'you' almost every day :)

Anyway, I believe there is something I need to learn on this job or someone I need to meet for the future. For some reason, even though is not 'the dream job' for a girl longing for nature, I feel like it is something I HAVE to do now. It is hard to explain, hope it doesn't sound too crazy!

Well, my dear friends, I must stop here, I'm soooo tired... Kisses!!!

Flower Roll Call and NEWS!!

No idea what this is! (Following Dr. Monkey von Monkerstein at Monkey Muck and Delia at Beginning to Bird, here is my flower)

I have some news too!! I start my new job TOMORROW!! I'm a little nervous but also excited. I'll let you know more about it later on :)
