Looking back at June 2017
I had to admit defeat this afternoon and abandon my pm birding session with Bobbys grooming appointment falling at a bad time where I had to pick him up at 1530 hrs right in the middle of my bird time. At least it gave me chance to catch up on a million jobs leaving me clear for tomorrows tea time bash and Fly Flatts would have been busy with boats in the hot sun so I didnt feel too bad.
