awesome randomness

Thanks to those who have been reading/emailing/commenting on the last few posts. I'm enjoying writing them so far, and have more planned soon! But for now, I have another collection of random links.  I usually save these as "filler" for short posts, but sometimes (like now) I have such a pile of links, that they are worthy of their own post.

The gold medal however goes to Brendan Boyd who found this photograph of a Yellow-throated Warbler, apparently photographed in Windsor on Feb 1, 2012:
