23rd December: Christmas Eve Eve

With renewed enthusiasm brought on by a very nice early Christmas present I decided to plan my day. 1. Go birding 2. Do some work at the house 3. Either visit IKEA or go birding again. So I slung several changes of clothing into the car and headed to RV. About a mile away from RV I realised that I had forgotten to actually put any optics in the car so sadly it became another weekend of no birding. A few jobs in the house and a trip to IKEA and a stop off at Murderhell on the way home made for another uneventful Sunday, but it did get much better in the evening!

WIN A DENBY DALE PIE WORTH £25

I've nicked this out of a local magazine for local people.
Answer this question: How many blackbirds (though strictly speaking it should be black birds) were baked in a pie?

  6. I think little Jimmy murdered Jack Snipe, as he was kicking around that field again!

  7. It’s ok, I’m alive and well. Being hunted down by birders of small stature, the Burbage Birders and the current LROS County Recorder leads me to use stunt doubles.
    I can assure you I’ll probably rear my ugly head again soon.
