Sunday 21 June 2009

It has been a busy weekend. I did my garden watch yesterday and in the evening we went out for a wander with Derek, Sam & Poppy again. Needless to say we had three life ticks! I also gave blood - to the Midges! My pics were not good and I decided to go back looking for a good shot of the Spotted Flycatcher today, and although I saw it again, my photography was not up to scratch. It was a lovely evening - Thank you Derek & Sam - I won‘t forget the beers, I promise!
