I have been rather poor at updating my blog recently. A combination of being busy at work, having a new baby and my computer dying. Anyway enough excuses.
After a few days of rain the forecast of a misty morning seemed to much to pass up. Up bright and early I headed to Deer Leap on the southern scarp of Mendip. As predicted the autumn mist lay heavy across the somerset levels.
Whilst taking a few photos a local birder turned up an we had a chat. I explained that I still can’t really identify birds by call and am not sure I ever will. His suggestion was to get a book with bird calls on a CD and listen to it in the car. We chatted further and went our separate ways. Upon returning to my car I was both suprised and rather pleased to find that the gentleman had left copies of the aforementioned cd’s on my windscreen. What friendly and generous act. If you ever happen to stumbe across this please accept my thanks.
