A bird has just flown

A bird has just flown over the nursery, making a noise like a swanee whistle. It is black, about the size of a thrush, with a red beak. Any ideas? Never seen anything like it before, and I suspect it is an escapee from a nearby pet shop.

Low-key party last night at

Low-key party last night at Jane G’s for her birthday, with her family, assorted self-sufficiency bods and various Zeneca (or whatever they are called now) types. Oh, and some goats.
Very restful.
