Thursday 5th April (Migrants at the Lagoon)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a cool cloudy sky. Spring was just about here.

In the morning Mr. Kite and His Lady went to place some flowers on a grave. Walking down the drive to the churchyard Mr. Kite and His Lady stopped to look at primroses, bluebells and other flowers. Blooms and blossoms were out in colour although a chilly breeze blew.

Monkmoor Lagoon


In the afternoon Mr. Kite saddled  The Beast and cycled to Monkmoor Lagoon to watch the migrants. To cut a long story short Mr. Kite failed to spot one migrant. The log book had records of chiffchaff and sand martins. However coots, mute swans, reed buntings, teal, mallards great crested grebe and moorhens were busy with their partners.

So in the late afternoon Mr. Kite returned home and enjoyed a tipple of Tetley tea. Cheers.
