Thursday 23rd June (Sunshine)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window to see the sun in the sky above Blighty. Now this is rather unusual but it was a good start to the day. To make the day even better there was a quiet 'dawn chorus' of Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and Greenfinches. Later this morning Mr. Kite and His Lady were off to Land's End but first they had to pick up The Bard.

After breakfast Mr. Kite typed in the post code of The Bard into Pat Nav and off they went. Along the road Mr. Kite did spot a Pelican and a very good Pelican it was because it sold Marstons Beer. Soon Mr. Kite was in Bath University collecting The Bard and his Literature. On the campus Mr. Kite had time to sit down by a Herring Gull that was well fed by the students. This monster of a gull was having a good time as an undergraduate enjoying the left over food from students pizzas.

Driving down the road to Lands End Mr. Kite passed Glastonbury where the crowds were gathering for the festival. Now Mr. Kite was tempted by the thought of parking The Joint in The Festival grounds and spending the weekend listening to music and drinking copious amounts of beer but he decided that with rain likely and the thought of mud was too much; so off he went to Lands End.

After hours of traveling Mr. Kite and His Lady and The Bard were having a tipple of Kronenbourg. Cheers from Lands End where Mr Kite met his 'birding companion' and his family.
