Photos off my phone - birds.

 You might remember when I was forcibly forced by my mother to go birdspotting in a nearby country park. As you can see from the pictures, it was cold. Apparently birds can be fooled if you hide in a giant wooden box with some climbing plants on it and stick your head out of the middle of it.

We traipsed through rain and mud to a number of little wooden boxes, from which vantage points I was able to distinguish a number of rare and exotic species - coots, swans and a pigeon which I think was lost. More often than not, however, you can see from the photographic evidence that there were sod all birds in the local bird sanctuary.

The little avian ingrates. You give them somewhere nice to live and they don't even bother to show up.
