I set off to Grumbling Stumps before the crack of dawn. But why ? I'm too old for "that sort of thing." nowadays. Well, at my age there might not be many more "nowadays." So ... there's a bird at said GrSt that has been eluding me all year. An unprecedented thing. I've never- not- spotted them for so long. AND .. AT LAST... I got 'em ! Picked up the calls first. Then they appeared. Coo ! I was so chuffed, I devoured a Celebratory Magnum. (!) And then, in the deep deep dark of night..... We looked out the back of our house ... and lo and behold ... A male Tawny Owl was distantly calling. And that's a pretty rare occurrence these nights. There were lots of other night noises too ... that's night-time for you. .... right then .... music ... and you can ..and should.... sing along with it.
