I know, I know. I haven't posted in more than two weeks. That's because I have nothing to post. I haven't been out birding ... not even once.
I recently spent a week in England, visiting a friend and her family. It was a great time - one full day in London, and the rest in Nottingham. Did lots of fun and interesting things ... visited castles and beautiful churches, walked in Sherwood Forest and learned lots about the legends of Robin Hood, took in a great ghost walk in historic Nottingham, hung out in pubs and drank whiskey in fine company, and even hiked the seaside cliffs of Flamborough. But no birding.
Things have been busy at the university since I got back -- my project is winding down and there's lots to do. Throw in the fact that I have to prepare for a conference in Washington DC next week, and my days are full.
So ... I've been birding vicariously on the internet, and feeling the pain of many excellent species being seen back home in Newfoundland - especially after the "fallout" in Atlantic Canada which followed the tail-end of Hurricane Wilma last week.
Enough already ...
