We're Busy Doing Nothing Bing
Crosby et al
In the morning, I was out extremely late
because of more chat with my 'cuz', Honor and her brilliant husband Ian. After all I do not get to see any of my many cousins very often and the opportunity to catch up with one of them was
wonderful.
Late in the morning I cycled to and
eventually found Barfold Copse RSPB Reserve; a ridiculously small and exceedingly
difficult to find woodland reserve tucked down in a valley. Very few birds
there but it brought back memories of my childhood when we used to explore a
similar area with Rhododendrons and Bamboo in Stourbridge, Worcestershire.
Maybe there were only a few birds but at last I came across a small flock of Lesser
Redpolls [127].
The rest of the afternoon was spent mostly
going uphill to the Devil's Punchbowl Hotel on the A3, after having looked over
the Punchbowl itself, and rest.
