Driving home from work, and on my way to college, it occured to me that – for one week only – class has been put back to Tuesday.
Only went a little out of my way, so quickly got back on the route home… and… well, what’s a boy s’posed to do on a fine Spring evening?
Yep, my reward for the suffering the miserable weather yesterday was a trip outback in the evening sun.
Nothing out of the ordinary to report, but should say that approx. 75% (if not more) of today’s ids were by call only.
Now there’s nothing there that would stump the experts among us, but suffice it to say, two years ago – maybe even a year ago - with the exception of Blackbird, Green Woodpecker and Chiffchaff, I would’ve had no chance.
Anyway, you know the routine…
