Lisa (from Florida) sets a weekly bird 'challenge' which I haven't responded to for the last few weeks. This week, it is BIRDS WITH GREEN FEATHERS.

IMMIGRATION to the UK
Immigration is a sensitive topic in the UK amongst many people and is behind many political decisions, not least being one of the most significant factors for so many who voted for Brexit (to leave the EU) in 2016.

Continuing this week's theme of domesticated animals, I am focussing on poultry in Teso in north eastern Uganda today. They are a very important source of a little extra income. They are also killed to eat when visitors come and are often given as a gift. I have had so many chickens over the years! … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 108
