Sandpiper, Terns and Party

Brandon Marsh had 3 Green Sandpiper and 2 Common Sandpiper while the heavy rain brought down 3 Black Tern and Wheatear to Draycote Water. In the evening Dave had planned a surprise meal with my friends to celebrate my birthday and had to endure acute embarrassment as he produced poster size pictures of me in various unflattering poses from some of our recent travels not helped by my little sister dragging out the family album to show all and sundry images of me as a tot. Lost all my street credibility. Thanks to all who attended and I’m sorry for those who had prior arrangements and could not make it.

another wonderful cake from Chris - had to bloody share it.
