All geared up for Fly Flatts early morn when Pippa jumped off the sofa landing awkwardly and spraining her back. Down to Halifax vets for 0800 hrs and after an examination, painkillers and a £125.00 bill it was back home and just time to check the Ned Hill track in sunshine at 7 degrees but a moderate SW> 5.
I thought I would be able to get an early Whitethroat in the usual bushes along the track but not to be so turned my attention to watching over the Causeway Foot Col, but just another dead end.
By the time I got back to the car I had a grand, last day of the month, total of 3 Woodpigeons, 4 Crows and a Meadow Pipit. This birding job is getting war'n'workin.
And if matters were'nt bad enough, a very light easterly for morning with a capful of fog.
