I was busy, busy, busy this morning sticking bedding into the big white box with a port hole that sits looking menacingly at me in the kitchen.
Using this big box makes the washing a wee doddle.
The dashing away with the soothing iron afterwards though, well, it's just impossible.
CLICK - dashing away with the soothing iron
Especially that big white thing with a rubber band around it's edge - who designed that?
I now know why its called a fitted sheet - you can't iron the thing without having a hissy fit.
Anyway, after lunch I walked over the fields to Ogden Water.
Looking from the promenade, I could see 8 Tufted Ducks, way off on the north east end of the water (and nowt else) so I decided to walk around to see if I could get a photo.
The circuit path was well dodgy sending me into the woods to walk against the wall path, or as near as I could, so I could still observe the barren water!
Real good exercise this is, with not much path at times.
When I got to the north, east end there were now 6 Tufties and they had moved into the middle so the photos are not great.
Then ..... just as I was bout to get my 1st 2026 lifer , my telling bone rang.
A man asked if my alarm maintenance, which was due in 2 weeks, could be done this afternoon - in half an hour from now!
I tried to explain that my lifer was imminent but in the end I softened and legged it home.
I arrived 10 mins before Mr. A. Larm so I could probably have got that lifer after all.
With all this guff - you guessed it - not many birds.
Birds:-
Buzzard.
Kestrel.
c25 Gulls at one point.
8 Tufted Duck.
2 Pheasant.
2 Stock Dove.
A small flock of Goldfinch and Chaffinch along the farm track.
