Wednesday 7th December (Too Windy to Fly)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a blue sunny sky with the branches on the trees being blown about.

Today Mr. Kite and his birding companion had a short trip planned. By ten thirty The Incapacitants were heading towards The Wrekin. Passing the river at Atcham they noticed it was higher than normal and on the river banks canada geese, mallards and goosander sat being buffeted in the strong wind.

To cut along story short it was so windy on The Wrekin that only the normal things were spotted and in this wind they struggled to fly and keep in control of their direction. The Incapacitants were blown around on the hill and had to lean at acute angles to stay on their feet.

One highlight was a clump of trees that had chaffinch, blue tits, marsh tits and goldcrest. Two hours later The Incapacitants returned home where the competition was a draw. Soon Mr. Kite was sipping warm Tetley tea. Cheers.
