Tuesday 31st January (The Last Day of the Month)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a dark morning. The air was still and Jack Frost had touched the plants outside. On this winters morning a robin was singing in full song from the branch of a tree. This bird kept on singing from the same spot. Its song was a whistle and a warble. On the last day of the month this was a good start to the day.

Late in the morning Mr. Kite saddled The Beast and set off for a short tour to watch birds. On this cold day the birds were scarce. However in Condover the rooks were renovating their nests. To cut a long story short it was too cold and then The Beast struck another thorn and it was repair time again.

However Mr. Kite did return home via a conversation with a radio reporter where Mr. Kite made his case against the rearing and releasing of common pheasants into the Shropshire countryside. On this cold day Mr. Kite returned to The Residence for a tipple of Tetley tea. Cheers.
