This one has a loud, strident whistle which I can hear.
I used to have an electric one which whistled as it switched itself off. Unfortunately the element gave up. When I replaced it the new one tainted the water with a strong 'plastic' taste, even after several boilings, so I went back to the type I could use on a gas ring.
The second copper of the week - a Small Copper Butterfly.
Since the very cold blast we suffered earlier in the year I haven't seen many butterflies, let alone those which stayed still long enough to photograph.
Very smart is the kettle.
ReplyDeleteIt si never good for butterflies here but this year has been average.
Adrian: I do like a kettle with a bit of character to it.
DeleteI love your new very classy copper kettle. I can't hear high notes any more either :( In fact these days I can hardly hear any bird song :(
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the Small Copper. I have still been seeing Speckled Wood in the garden but not since last weekend.
RR: I've noticed for a few years when I'm watching a bird sing there are times in their song their beak opens but I hear no sound.
DeleteBoth are very bright.
