After that thing I wrote about Eve Slane, I got a email from a reader (!)( Bill) to tell me that not only did he know her well, but also that she died just a few weeks ago at the age of 72 .... by which time her UK list had gone up to 27 ! It was only 2 posts ago (526) that I wrote about her extraordinary life I thought I had to commemorate her in some way .... so here we go ... So, Farewell then Eve Slane ! A life punctuated by birds. But very few compared to Lee Evans and his ilk. Anyway ... I'm glad you did that modest "twitch" just two doors up even though you dipped out. And now you've dipped out for good. Keith's mum assures me you will "get" that Nuthatch up there. Bill told me you always wanted a stair lift. So I hope you had a stairway to heaven ... (In the style of) E.J. Thribb, 17½
