Re: Out and About 9/1
Doctor’s orders, Neil !!
Lots of short walks followed by rest.
It’s good to be back out again and definitely on the mend though, thanks.

Whilst it wouldn’t have made a difference to the overall result, my challenge was curtailed towards the end of November after being admitted to hospital. Unfortunate...

It's distinctive silhouette shape passed into my field of vision only just over the height of the hedge about half distance to Syd Brook.

Re: bits and bobs.
Decided to chance my luck on Syd Brook this evening and was duly rewarded with a single Woodcock (454pm) in flight as viewed from Larkfield.
Couple of small bats seen too.
The Woodcock takes me to 140 species for the year.
