Mr Monkey visits the American Museum, 12th May


"I'm defending the snacks by throwing bits of cookie at that bird"

Mr Monkey watching a crow on the lawn overlooking the Claverton valley Mr Monkey looking at an armillary sphere

Mr Monkey's humans were feeling hungry, so they bought George Washington cake, cheese cookies and a snickerdoodle at the cafe and went to eat on the terrace outside. Mr Monkey defended the food from a friendly crow. When his humans were fed, Mr Monkey admired the valley below Claverton Manor and examined a slightly worn armillary sphere which was standing idly on a plinth on the lawn.

You can read about crows at the RSPB website and about armillary spheres at the University of Cambridge Department of History and Philosophy of Science website.
