There and Back

Friday, February 14

Pam's busy morning. Adrian was here to finish tidying the front flower beds and to align the new low wooden edging - he has to get it straight. a  man after my own heart.....She managed to leave him to get on with it so was able to do some serious casserole cooking to try out the oven again. The oven behaved as normal. No incineration to-day.
A drive to Winterton was mooted to which I rapidly agreed. Storm Dennis is imminent.
A remarkable paucity of birds en route to the beach at Winterton. Apart from a few gulls and two pairs of Carrion Crows, the only birds of note were three Buzzards and two Kestrels. 
£1.50 at Winterton Dunes cafe for an hour's parking. We parked so that we could see the sea, which was devoid of any life at all. One Seal and two Gannets later, a small flock of Snow Buntings flew past the car, disturbed by beach dog walkers. Others passed by out of sight. Brilliant, worth the visit.
We passed two flocks of 70+ Mute Swans, one at West Somerton, the other west of Ludham,. Both were checked for diversity. 
An unusual sight for us, in this area, was three Roe Deer feeding in a roadside field.

  
One of them was a well antlered Stag, antlers still growing with a thick layer of velvet as protection.



Home for a fraught two hours as the router was not connecting to the internet despite all its lights flashing, connections tight etc. This involved pulling out my very heavy computer unit, sorting out all the stuff which had fallen behind it (!!), clearing cobwebs, sorting sockets and generally checking everything. Then the screen 
stopped working. That was an easy fix, a loose connection.

Well, I got it to work - but I don't know what I did.
