I was strolling back from the estuary gate, when deeply hidden in a tall and thick hedge was a bird singing like mad. Literally !! And, dear readers, I had no bloody inkling of what that bird was !! How humiliating. Normally, you would expect to see the thing eventually, but after a baffling 20 mins of a barrage of all sorts of notes, I still had no idea what it was. Another birder turned up .... and he had no idea either. And still, it refused to appear. I did a bit of pishing and squeaking to no avail. It just carried on and on. Both of us were discombobulated. I suppose I could have done a bit of bush-bashing ..but it would have zoomed off out of sight on the WRONG side of said hefty hedge. So we just walked away. Here's an incredibly relevant song ......... Yesterday I became a grandparent for the 2nd time .... we think they're going to call him Robin. I'm getting terribly old.
