Nursing Standard, wow!!

Have been "cited" in the Nursing Standard, and this is the photo used within the article.....makes me feel "well chuffed"

Rain, rain and even more rain!!!

The weather is pants, it has now been raining for 18 hours very little chance of getting out today, so ran on a treadmill for an hour...........see what tommorow brings..

Fine "Shrike" day

Returned to Spurn today and got good views of a barred warbler and even better views of a Great Grey Shrike. These birds are migrating south for the winter, and have a taste for "flesh" observed this individual chasing and catching a Siskin, then taking it to a thorn bush hanging its victim on a thorn then eating it, pretty grusome,,,,,,,

Autumn

Autumn is now well on the way! soon the leaves will be gone and the cold and the frosts will return....

Feels Like Summer has returned!!!

Went to Spurn Point today, the sun was shining, no wind and clear skies, "Bliss" well NO. The mozzies where out in force got bitten and my left lower leg has swelled to twice its normal size, time for antihistimines......Great to see the bird migration in full swing, particulary the "fall" of Siskins, they flew in of the North Sea and where very hungry, Yellow-Browed Warbler & Red Breasted Flycatcher where the highlights of the day....

Just about the daftest thing I have done, to date!!!

I have done some pretty daft things in my life but swimming the Humber "takes the buscuit". There was a huge swell on the river ending with all the swimmers been rescued. Well live to tell the story but never again......

Shoot its been a long time since my last BLOG!!

It has been a while, my how time passes, spent the day out today at Spurn Point. The weather was blissfully hot, making a great day out. Went to Spurn in the hope of catching up with a rare bird migrant, a Barred Warbler
