365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Where Away Adventure?
Day 2: Where away adventure, lads? I hears it on th' wind, namin' me in a whisper wot durst no' be denied. 'Tis out there fer th' takin', an' them wot never dares wi' never know it, marooned in theys cozy armchairs like sad an' sorry castaways on fergotten islands, dead o' soul an' spirit, an' no excuse fer livin'. Wot chance may gi'e us, let 'er come fer good or ill, fer t' master circumstance be th' better proof o' character t' fellow an' self alike. Seize th' day! Let no man o' ye turn 'is face frae Fate, fer 'im wot sails wi' th' Black Blade sails into it bold as brass, an' no regrets. 'Oist th' mains'l, ye bloody shirkin' dogsbodies, an' make fast th' lines! 'Tis now t' do or die!
