Huge Welsh estuaries like the Dee and the Severn support hundreds of thousands of migratory waterbirds during the winter months.

  #3GoodThings I will take my last tapered steroid dose tomorrow. My legs looked SO much better by day 2. And my cracker-jack doctor can’t remember why he didn’t give me steroids to begin with. 2 months dealing with this crap ~ unnecessarily. I have an office rug under my desk ~ for my rolling chair and hardwood floors. It’s a U of F Florida Gators 🐊 rug and very loved, but it has taken a lot of abuse over its 11 year life and it shows. So I ordered a new rug and am waiting on delivery today. G...
