Scientists have been left shell-shocked... 🐢 'In the 19th century, exploitation of the Aldabra tortoises meant there were fewer than 1,000 left on the island, but a recovery programme led to it becoming a strict nature reserve in 1981 and a Unesco site in 1982.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“I wish the wind may never cease, Nor fishes in the flood, Till my three sons come hame to me, In earthly flesh and blood” —in “The Wife of Usher’s Well”, a #ballad first collected in Walter Scott’s 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 (1802), a woman is visited by her three dead sons #WyrdWednesday
There lived a wife at Usher’s Well,
And a wealthy wife was she;
She had three stout and stalwart sons,
And sent them o’er the sea.

They hadna been a week from her,
A week but barely ane,
Whan word came to the carline wife
That her three sons were gane.They hadna been a week from her,
A week but barely three,
Whan word came to the carlin wife
That her sons she’d never see.

—“I wish the wind may never cease,
Nor fishes in the flood,
Till my three sons come hame to me,
In earthly flesh and blood.”—

It fell about the Martinmas,
When nights are lang and mirk,
The carline wife’s three sons came hame,
And their hats were o’ the birk.

It neither grew in syke nor ditch,
Nor yet in ony sheugh;
But at the gates o’ Paradise,
That birk grew fair eneugh.—“Blow up the fire, my maidens,
Bring water from the well:
For a’ my house shall feast this night,
Since my three sons are well.”—

And she has made to them a bed,
She’s made it large and wide;
And she’s ta’en her mantle her about,
Sat down at the bed-side.

Up then crew the red red cock,
And up and crew the gray;
The eldest to the youngest said,
—“’Tis time we were away.”—

The cock he hadna craw’d but once,
And clapp’d his wings at a’,
When the youngest to the eldest said,
—“Brother, we must awa.“The cock doth craw, the day doth daw,
The channerin’ worm doth chide;
Gin we be miss’d out o’ our place,
A sair pain we maun bide.

“Fare ye weel, my mother dear!
Fareweel to barn and byre!
And fare ye weel, the bonny lass
That kindles my mother’s fire!”—
