But...Joy to the World. We have managed to book a five day Scillies birding trip for next month. At the moment there is a Steppe Grey Shrike lurking. Hope it hangs about for a few weeks. I need to exchange my heavy steel tripod for a carbon fibre job. It really is wearing on anything approaching a long walk. Strange...It seemed so much lighter twenty years ago.
