JRT,

You can tell old Snavely that he can stick his beer where the monkey sticks it's nuts - until he improves the quality of his clientele. Any pub that would have me as a regular isn't worth frequenting.

Also, please convey to our old pal C51 that we ticked the immature Long Tailed Skua - Stercorarius longicaudus on Sunday. Displaying quite openly in ploughed fields which certainly used to be part of Sherwood Forest - and there are still thieves about...
We found out the day after that some of the birders' cars had been broken into by a scumbucket in a Peugot. Fortunately, someone got his registration so hopefully he will end up doing 'bird' in clink. Muhahaha...
