I and the Bird is a compendium of blog writing about wild birds and bird watching. So, all you have to do to join the carnival is send me a link of an appropriate post from your blog. It is that simple. Oh! and come back on the 15 May.
Thanks for the recent visit of the Beetles Playing Rugby. It was a fun post.
We used to get a channel featuring Rugby games. It has gone away. I really miss it. The game has a lot of finesse. I don't think most Americans understand the game. Too bad.
Hi Troy, Thanks again! Glad to know that you like your Rugby!
Thanks to the British, we too have inherited a good local Club/School Rugby scene over here. My school St Peter's College is the reigning double-champions, having won the 'league' and the 'knock-out' tournament last year! Although cricket predominates in the media, the crowd turnaround in the domestic cricket matches is extremely poor in sharp contrast to local club/school rugby matches where you almost always have packed grounds!

I've never sent anything for the carnival... I don't think I can 'compete' with such wonderful bloggers :)
All right then Mel, come back on 15May for the carnival.
Any rules I should know about? I've never participated before either.

Hi Chrisss,
Could you please drop me an e-mail to gallicissa AT gmail DOT com. I have some suggestions for you.
I'll say it again. Great job on the #75 Carnival.

I hope you will have time to take the quiz!!
