I have had a difficult time with this bird today. Fickle as anything. I thought I would surprise her by getting out there some 2 hours later than normal. OK the real reason was gusting 30 knot winds. Checking out the usual haunts showed up nothing so a wander around the environs seemed to be in order. I could hardly stand up. Just as well that I had downsized the lens today as trying to steady the  200-400 F4 in this wind would have been shaky to say the least. Anyway, I broke off for coffee and cake. Regular readers will know that I like cake and there is nothing better than Mrs O’s Dundee or Lemon and Black Pepper cake but none of them was on offer so a double espresso and some take on millionaire’s shortbread (that was nothing like normal stuff and the chocolate was thin and questionable and absolutely nothing to do with Mrs O) had to do.

So, afterwards, I snook out to the primary location all caffeined up then, swoosh, off she went with a tail wind of some 25 knots. I looked down at my feet  and these two bits of litter said it all. KFC (makes a change from McDonalds litter) – fish and chips but not as you would know it.
