Hard work

Gave it 4 hours around the village this morning with little reward. Just a few Goldcrests and Chiffys. Still it was a lovely morning.

Late afternoon I took Bud down to Beacon Ponds to see if the Little Stint was still around. No joy but I did bump into Karl Dutton and his crew. Always nice to see him, always cheerful. We swapped "war wound" stories concerning our legs. Coincidentally we both have appointments with our respective specialists in the morning. All the best pal.

Forecast looking great for a Yank this week with strong westerlies right across the Atlantic with the attendant fast moving fronts. Unfortunately the theories don't always work out in practice! Let's hope in this case it does!!

Let's think...how about one of these...
