Oh yes there was. And I thought ..... I've been stuck on something very close to "The Magic 400" for ages, and I might possibly be able to go and see it. But then I read the small print .... only to find that it wasn't even in the UK. It was in blasted America. That's miles away. I didn't go to get one years ago, on the far side of the Pennines, but exactly why I cannot remember. Probably "family reasons". Oh, there's been plenty of them over the decades. I've written about that. I suggested that my family circumstances should allow me to "virtually tick" all those birds I've missed or not even gone for from no fault of my own. I call them " upjustments". 771-in-which-i-do-a-bit-of-upjustment.html 775-those-extra-32-ticks.html Of course, I haven't actually put them on my list ...... ... but when I'm on my last legs with only a few minutes to live, I might just, er, add them surreptitiously to said list. Fair do's ! So ..... let's have a bit of music .... a truly beautiful song, something to soothe our sorrows ......... and it is, partly, about a bird ... but, you clever lot, which bird is it ? ... come on then ... what's the bird !!??
