Physically & mentally exhausted, and
- absolutely delighted that there appear to be more bird species right around the new house than anywhere else I've listened around here (10-15 here vs 2-3 elsewhere)
- love the weird sounds of the common cranes chorusing and chortling by the bog
- love the echoing chorus of the common cuckoo and green woodpeckers
- love the nighttime calls and songs of the tawny owls
- love that every time I go out, I see raptors surfing or hunting or fluffing around

I started swimming at the local lake on my birthday, and the first time I drove myself there, right in the thicket of trees before the curve to the parking lot, a massive MASSIVE raptor was surfing down to hunt and this bird -- e was as big and as golden and immense and intent and fluffy as Kai (my apricot standard poodle), and the shape of em tracking between the trees, massive wings out en masse, absolutely breathtaking, absolutely made me feel small in the best way
