Today is the first day of Meteorological Spring. Astronomical Spring starts on the 20th. So astronomers will have to wait. Meanwhile, happy Spring, meteors!

A female Egyptian goose is sitting on the grass in a London park, facing the viewer, with her head tucked back behind her right wing. Just in  front of her on the ground are three chicks feeding from her, though it's hard to make out individual chicks as they all just look like one long feathery thing.

DNA study sheds new light on human-Neanderthal interbreeding

Apparently, in prehistoric times, human females preferred to mate with Neanderthal men. Some things don't change all that much, then. ๐Ÿคญ

For those who track such things, last Thursday I noticed that a fair percentage (maybe 20%) of the black-headed gulls in London's Hyde Park had their full head markings, which only happens in Spring and Summer. Most of them had a vertical bar of brown down each cheek. So, pretty much on time.

Two people are having a chat by a wall. The woman is on the left, facing right, and is holding a soft drink in a see-through plastic slushy-type cup with a round lid and a yellow straw coming from it, and also appears to be holding a cardboard coffee cup in her left hand, partly hidden by her right arm. She is dressed in a pleated brown skirt with a brown jacket and a light grey woollen scarf and has a black backpack on her back. The man is on the right, facing left, with his right shoulder leaning against a window ledge below a white-paned window with a closed white louvre blind. He is shaved-headed, with a dark beard and moustache, and is dressed in loose dark blue trousers with a matching jacket, and is holding what looks like a brown long-eared dachshund, perhaps a cross-breed. The dog is giving the woman side-eye.
