Talk about packing things into a day, I am currently sitting exhausted as I write this shortish blog!<\/p>\n
I woke early and unable to go back to sleep so I went out for a dawn bird watch. I thought early on I had made a mistake as I hardly saw anything. A fox<\/strong> then galloped past a reed warbler<\/strong> started singing, common terns<\/strong> were sighted. I walked to another part of the sailing lake to see little gulls<\/strong> (lovely birds), common sandpipers<\/strong>, swallows<\/strong>, whitethroat<\/strong> (3 or 4). To round it off I heard a grasshopper warbler<\/strong> reeling\u00a0 just up from my house (a real treat)<\/p>\n We then drove up to Maidenhead to see my delightful grandson at a pub lunch!
