.....if that is at all possible! Actually, I saw some interesting things today...A Kestrel passed overhead this morning, to the north east. A beatrice tick, no less, which takes my offshore tally to 44, or something like that. Also, piles (literally!) of Magpie moths have turned up, along with quite a few of those crappy little micro things, and 1 Dark arches.
It seems to be a bad year for the Kittis - I still haven't seen a single first year bird yet. This is possibly ( probably?) due to a lack of suitable food for the young....I watched one adult struggling for well in excess of oooh, seven minutes, with a lively Pipefish. The poor thing was half swallowed, half round the birds neck, and must have taken some considerable effort to get down. Apparently the nutritional value for these fish is very low.....kind of like bird celery?!
The real reason that this was not a good day was due to the thick fog stopping the chopper getting in. This means that I have got to spend another night on this cock shack, sharing a room with a greasy celtic fan, and his porn collection.
I was supposed to be getting pissed tonight...... |
