Saturday 8th January (Life is not all Birding)

Mr. Kite went socialising today with his wife. They went for a lasagne lunch and a tipple of Bulmer's Strongbow Cider. Whilst enjoying his lentil lasagne Mr. Kite noticed a large plump Wood Pigeon on the hosts garden shed. Although the conversation, food and drink were first class Mr. Kite could not resist looking at this magnificent bird. To some a pigeon is a pest, to others a tasty casserole in red wine, to me a very colourful and attractive bird with it's blue, black, white, pinkish plumage with a splash of green on its neck.

Mr. Kite had a very pleasant day and although drank too much he still maintained control of himself and was steady as a rock winning every game of Jenga.
