Hard work

Out on the patch for about 10 hours and what have I to show for it? Diddly. The day being saved only by the magic of Apple technology and a very obliging and inquisitive Tawny Owl. There might have been a Firecrest in Bush Wood too, but it was far too dark to get more than brief views. Whilst trundling round I met up with an dog walking regular, one of the more reasonable canine contingent, who claimed to have seen an Otter on the Shoulder of Mutton a few weeks back. From his description it sounded good for Tarka. I texted the news to the regulars. Tim said: "fantastic", Jono: "Jameson's".
