My wife and I have a bit of thing about oystercatchers as there's a colony at our favourite holiday destination, but they're usually seen wading on the shoreline. Here, they live on the lake in the middle of the holiday village, and can be seen wandering about between the chalets. #smallthings

It took a while for this small thing to notice me. It made me feel blessed not to be noticed, and I could just watch.

That whole "carbon footprint" thing was made up by BP, but that doesn't make it a hoax. Big companies need to change how they do business and petrol companies need to be shut down, but that doesn't mean that small things you do don't matter. It's both important.
