A few posts ago I came up with an awkward question... .... which UK county has the longest bird list ? I happily confessed that I had v. little idea of the actual answer, though I did have an "opinion ". My opinion was, I can reveal, Cornwall. Because, I hope, it includes Scilly. I've still got some doubts about it...... Norfolk must be right up there for a start. And last time I was at Grumbling Stumps I brought the matter up, to get some idea of what other people thought. It was all over the place, both literally and metaphorically. None of them tried googling them on their smartphones ... we're above that sort of thing. Though the King of Bryher probably would have. He talks to his. But another question came up .... a much trickier question I think. Which UK county has the smallest list ????? Ooo-er ! Cripes ! The obvious try is Rutland .... but I have my doubts ... yes, it's small, but it's over in the East, and it's got a great big lake..... You won't be surprised that Flintshire came into consideration .... but it was deeply inland counties that got the votes .... Derbyshire got a mention. Nottinghamshire .. the county of my carefree youthful years, all 11 of them. And I haven't looked that up either ... in fact both questions might not even be look-up-able anyway. But you might like to have a think about them both .... and tell me about it. [email protected] So ... the ball is in your court. I picked this song because of the video really .... it's sort of " anti-pop" .as is this ... it has a similar atmosphere ...
