Well after my all clear from the doctor and consent to start bloggin' again' this isn't how it was supposed to be!!!!! Yesterdays Winter Atlas and Webs counts was enough to put me off birdin' for life with the highlight's being a single Oystercatcher at the JCB Lakes at Rocester and a chance meeting with the birder formerly known as "Fair Isle", ' castles very own Steven Turner who was countin' ducks at Utch.
Today's been one of those very rare days indeed! A completely birdless day. With our Ellie stoppin' last night, rain early on this mornin' which didn't stop all day and then our Theo(the newborn babe) needing looking after this afternoon I gave up in the end and decided to try and sort out my "man flu" once the kids had gone home with a drop or two of twelve year old malt from Speyside(Crested Tits etc.....). It seems to be workin' but it didn't stop me feelin' more than a tad envious after a call to me old mucker Andy "######" Latham who's just got back from Thailand!!! His tales of Spoon-billed Sand's, White-faced Plovers............ and Gurneys Pittas put yesterdays Oik well and truely in its place!!!!!!
That's all folks.
