(MY) LIFE'S TOO SHORT FOR TWITCHING
Having recently spent untold hours looking through gates/peering over hedges/and numbing my buttocks sitting in hides I have come to the conclusion that life's too short for a septuagenarian to waste time 'twitching'.
Invariably I have arrived too late or left too soon to see the moribund waif on offer anyway. Most recently I arrived at Old Moor RSPB at 06.50 hr, having left home at 05.15 to enter the Bittern Hide at 07.00 only to be told that the Little Bittern had just flown a few metres from one hidden site to another. 5 hours later I arrived home only to see that the uncooperative creature had just been seen, undoubtedly by assembled thousands.
So that's it - my aged bones will not be seen at 'twitches' again. (Unless another species not OML appears!)
