I haven’t posted a photo for a few days, but we had a random visitor today awaiting its time on the bird feeder, a Magpie Lark.

We were today years old when we learned the Spanish word for crocodile is COCODRILO not CROCODILO! It seems to be an example of metathesis, the rearranging of sounds or syllables in a word. Other Spanish examples of metathesis include milagro (miracle) and peligro (danger - from Latin periculum) youtu.be/RgJ-jvkURig
