Friday 26th
February fresh N Sunny 5 to 7C
A day of
cycling into Norfolk from Wisbech to get to Hunstanton along the side
roads to avoid the very busy main road until Kings Lynn.
A couple
of muntjacs are quietly walking beside a railway line.
The first
attempt of what will probably be many attempts for the lone male
golden pheasant at Wolferton is unsuccessful and a long walk over the
adjacent heathland is beautiful but the woodlarks here last year
haven't returned yet.
The amount of roadkill today is sad; muntjacs, hares, badger, fox, song thrush, collared dove, red-legged partridge and the most commonly seen squidged, pheasants. Car-nage!
A red-tailed bumblebee is on the floor and I am sure it appreciates it when I pick the sleepy creature up and put it onto a flower.
To the
cliff edge at Hunstanton, the tide is at its lowest and huge
sandbanks are out in The wash.
So the
year list is still at 172, still nineteen ahead of this time last year.
