A photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment you want to pause, savour and remember. “This Moment” is a ritual found on Life inspired by the Wee Man.
And borrowed often from whomsoever is carting it around. But a great idea and credit to the originators.
My Moment this week is a follow on from last week's moment here- wildfowl
My Moment is a favourite photo of a letter to the Editor of our Observer newspaper in response to their article the previous week about wildlife that has adopted our street and stormwater detention pond. Fencing regulations drawn up by our local council may impinge on ducklings and other wildfowl following their mums to the ponds if they are fenced off.
It was really nice to see this letter written by a well known local wildlife advocate about Gerald and myself. That made my day. I will be ringing her to thank her.

Hi Laura, it was just a wee story that evolved out of getting on to our media to alert our community to how waterbirds are now integrating into our urban envoronment and that closed fencing could interfere with that.
Hi Susan. Thanks, just a little that we can do. The best we can do is to blog these issues around endangered animals and try and promote concern for them.
Hi Rimly, that was a very thoughtful guest post from Lisa on your site. Makes one think alright.
Excellent Jim and thank you for creating the awareness!

Great post Jim, you are always inspiring.Thanks for sharing this. The critters would be lost without the Jims of this world.
Jim that is so great! It shows what people can get accomplished with some compassion mixed with a little action..hey I think I made slogan or something lol ;) Truly you've made a difference in lives of the wildlife in your community and hopefully in some of the perceptions of the people as well.
Wow...your voice is heard. It's a noteworthy cause Jim. Just the way I have it for kids :)
I do hope action is done. Good luck!
The animals all over the world love you :)
