Sparrow

It's Friday again and it is up early to take Tricia into school followed by a visit to Balranald. Still no Lapland Buntings that I could see but at least the House Sparrows posed well. Just after getting back tot he house came news of an American Coot up there but by the time I got there the weather was horrendous, Driving rain with gale force winds did not help my chances of picking out this particular bird.
Horrible enough to not want to go out tonight but we have two things to do. One was a drinks do which it transpired was cancelled but we still managed a couple of glasses of wine. Tricia then went off to prayers around the coffin of a Grimsay islander she knew who has sadly just died, less than a year after retiring. A moving affair I am told.
