Sunday 22nd January (Not Many Birds on the Hill)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a grey and white sky. The wind was gusting and the bare branches on the trees swayed. Mr. Kite and his birding companion were going on a short bird-watching trip to Prior's Holt.

To cut a long story short not too many birds were spotted in the cool strengthening wind. The highlight was a merlin flying across the sky very quickly. The small raptor was in a hurry. The Incapacitants saw far fewer birds than expected.

In the late afternoon Mr. Kite was tempted to saddle The Beast and visit the lagoon but the temptation of a bottle of beer was too much. The "Old Speckled Hen" triumphed over "The Flying Pigeon".

So Mr. Kite enjoyed a few tipples. Cheers.
