Today was the monthly bird survey out by the River. It was a slow start because there was quite a strong wind. We were treated to about 200 Wigeon<\/strong> <\/span>flying up the river. Later when we walked what we called the Snipe Field<\/strong> we saw 45 Snipe<\/strong><\/span> and 4 Jack Snipe.<\/strong><\/span> One of our young members of our team got very excited calling out the numbers! Some pictures at the bottom of the blog of Snipe<\/strong><\/span> from previous encounters in different places.<\/p>\n

Following the bird theme I did my weekly bird watch with young people at Wick Court.<\/strong> They had the drama of a marauding Sparrowhawk<\/strong> <\/span>and later good views of a Great Spotted Woodpecker<\/strong><\/span> in front of them when sitting in the Hide.<\/p>\n

We also went to a great talk on Tawny Owls<\/strong> <\/span>last night with some brilliant photographs.<\/p>\n

Just got back from my weekly Story Telling at Wick Court<\/strong> telling some old favourites. I now\u00a0 need to learn stories for a gig on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Finally the football on Tuesday night was much more encouraging – we travelled up to the game\u00a0 apprehensively after Saturday’s debacle! Fingers crossed we play like that again on Saturday.<\/p>\n
