Scraping about for March birds, having spent so much time at the hospital or doctor's . Last Monday's eleventh hour aborted operation was almost the last straw. All for a 3mm spot which was nearer my ankle than my knee.
Newly returned from the surgery for my INR check after the 4 days without Warfarin in preparation for the arthroscopy, I almost immediately had a phone call from Mr Shirodian's secretary asking if March 23rd was OK for the op!! That's before the duty doctor's report that it was healed - her initial reaction was 'it's very small'.
That and a second injection in my left eye this morning at Cromer hospital. We went on from there to the Cliff car park Sheringham where we added Cormorant to the month list.
Tuesday March 6
A coast drive to Sheringham, as we were both fed up after yesterday and had risen too late for Natural Surroundings anyway.
West Runton beach car park, where we risked not paying during a shortish sea watch. Last week's weather brought a rotting swathe of sea creatures and seaweed to the north coast beaches. Starfish and Crabs of several species, Weaver Fish and other creatures. Some were alive and some good hearted people had worked hard putting them back in the sea.
A horde of Gulls were feeding on the beach detritus, squabbling over the tasty morsels, jockeying for position. One Mediterranean Gull and at least two Yellow-legged Herring Gulls amongst them.
The drive ended mid afternoon at Cliff car park Sheringham, where we realised that neither of us had eaten yet. Pam descended the steps to the Funky Mackerel cafe and we were delivered a burger each to the car in the car park. Service indeed. My burger was the best I'd ever eaten out. Pam loved her cheeseburger too.
We've put the Robinson actinic out several times this month but mostly failed to trap any moths. Much better this week but only low single figures. We took these three in to Cley yesterday morning. Good to see David N back after his winter absence.
Small Brindled Beauty. New for the garden and our life list
