Finally, I did it! I opened my “first aid” box and took out all the medicine boxes with an expired date!

I used pills and liquids, emulsions and steroid … More Unused Medicine

Can you find the bird in the picture bellow? So small, so quick and likes to look under our old pine trees bark. I think it is Eurasian treecreeper (oh, what a name!). I hope you find it!
