The biggest event of the week was me hitting 40! Whilst I am by no means on the verge of a mid-life crisis I couldn't help but step on the scales and check my weight and at 13+ stone I was bloody shocked - no more pies from the foreseeable future. This was not helped when earlier this afternoon, whilst discussing the whereabouts of a local Cetti's Warbler with Pete, a voice in the background was heard to shout "he (meaning me) won't know he'll be in Morrison's eating pies!" Well that's it salads from now on - though I suspect that reviews on the quality of salad ingredients will not be as well appreciated as pies!
Back to that Cetti's. Andy D found a Cetti's Warbler yesterday in the exact spot at PHW that I have always fancied one. Presumably there will be some self found rules out there that let me count that one - despite not even seeing or hearing it!
What could prove to be my last pie a Steak and Ale triangular pie from Morrisons, fittingly a ten point pie.

PS will be checking out our local Morrisons for a copy of that pie!!!
Happy birthday Mark, does this mean you'll be changing the name of your blog to 'Of Salads and Birds'? Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Also, I think your scales must be out - I can't believe you're a stone heavier than me!
Happy Birthday mate, where on PHW was the Cetti's??
stick to the pies, you have to have some fun in your life
Hey it was me shouting in the background, mentioned in your blog, fame at last!!!
Well I hope you can live with yourself when those poor folk on the pie stall are facing redundancy due to lack turnover ;-)
The Scilly stats were 4 rares of 3 species (2 OBP's). All totals were for current BB's only.
A triangular pie (rather than a slice of pie) is against nature. Don't touch it young man.
