I enjoyed a hot late morning, early afternoon hike up to and around Soil Hill today.
It was very pleasant eating my lunch time butties, sat on a big rock, on Ned Hill Track in a refreshing breeze today.
Good to chat to Diane at the bottom of Taylor Lane.
It was tough going today as I decided to take in a short section of the north slope hoping for some migrant birds in the tree line there.
Brambles and Thistles are thriving in the long, long grass - but nothing special bird-wise popped out.
Nonetheless it was a good outing.
I forgot me notepad today but found a stamp in my wallet that had lots of room to record today's rarities!
Animal Nonsense:
Sue asked if I fancied a holiday ..I waved and said "Alpaca suitcase , Bison to me lad".
When we arrived it was Otter than I liked and a little Deer in the shop who's advert was "Weasel Everything".
I soon put on my running shoes saying "I'll have Hedgehog".
I jogged past a guy on bike who had Roe Deer then I jogged past a toilet where a Scottish guy had got stuck in he was shouting "I Kangaroo".
After the jog I was hungry for some toast, so I put some bread under the Gorilla.
I think the sun had addled me brain. today
