An attempt to work today was thwarted by strong wind and heavy seas, so I consoled myself by wandering aimlessly around Finstown - up and down and around and down and up and back down and around and back up and along and ....you get the picture. A fine male Brambling graciously surrendered to the Year List without a fight, and then, after twelve rounds, three submissions and a knock out, a female Bullfinch was dragged screaming from the shrubbery and ceremoniously red inked on the Master List.
Pheewww - glad to get that one out of the way.
A Snipe lurked under the bank on the Peedie Sea as I returned from buying bizarre ingredients for tea. Beginning to wish I had never bought the latest Nigella Lawson book for Jan - hot Beef Stew on a cold salad base ????, think the publishers may have got a couple of recipes mixed up..... it was a bit like eating a starter, a main course and a pudding all at once. I know all the courses end up in your stomach eventually, but I would prefer to place them there in some sort of logical and enjoyable order.
A fine 1st winter Iceland Gull cruised gracefully past me at eye level along the 4th Barrier on the final leg home.
Things are going sweetly.
