"It would have been quicke...What a last day!!<br /><br /><i>"It would have been quicker to pay Lord Coke to park at Lady Anne's Drive"</i>....<br />Probably not, Penny, probably not...<br />you might have got distracted by something in those pines...<br />that was where I saw my first ever Parrot-billed Crossbill...<br /><br />A gully in a dune system is called a "dune slack"... <br />but the slacks are always where strange things can be found... <br />one of the slacks there holds the southernmost occurrence of Fir Clubmoss in the UK...<br />[I don't just do boidz]...<br />but, all those feet in the videos... and not one of them looking down much...<br />I hope no one stood on a Natterjack...<br />and I hope that not too many of the orchids were trampled underfoot...<br />on the other hand... the habitat has been opened out a bit...<br />and seed will have been disturbed from the fossil seed bank...<br />so that will be a place to look later this year... and for the next few...<br />and orchid seed can be blown in to fresh "turf"... or lack of it.<br /><br />Smashing looking bird... very attractive... <br />but I'l hazzard a guess that others might well have been overlooked in the past...<br />especially by birders like myself... <br />interested in the greater habitat...<br />and ticked off in ancient RSPB daylist tick books as Siskin or Serin...<br />or even, despite the obvious bill and size difference... female Greenfinch!?<br /><br />It wasn't an allergy, or poison, that you had...<br />if, once you'd dug it out, the pain, etc. stopped...<br />it was a bit of involuntary acupuncture...<br />but wrong needle, wrong place...<br />the point would have been affecting a nerve.<br />They really are the worst if you've nothing to get it out with...<br />I have used the young thorn off a Sloe [Blackthorn] in the past to burrow with...<br />at least the thorns have some use!!<br />But, if you ever do that, please suck the resultant wound until the blood flows... to clean it properly... Tetanus 'n' all... especially in Norfolk!<br /><br />You missed the appointment at Snettisham, then??<br />You... Snettisham... you'd not need furniture, then...<br />that'd probably be the least occupied house in Norfolk, wouldn't it??!<br /><br />And a b(l)oomin' Bittern to serenade you on your way...<br />glad for you...<br />very glad...<br />you needed that!!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
