Face In The Undergrowth

It's funny how when I do the point and shoot type shots of the birds in the garden I quite often get a surprise.

I've been doing all the usual end of month stuff today for our clients. It's always a busy time from about the 23rd onwards with payrolls and invoicing and what not.

So after being tied to the monitor and paperwork for six hours I popped downstairs to make a coffee and point the camera out the patio doors. There is always a Sparrow to fall back on for a birdy blip .. or a Collared Dove. I noticed this little grey face sticking out from the weedy undergrowth by the feeder, and realised to my delight I have a Dunnock back in the garden again! Poor old Dunnocks are having a tough time of it with their numbers falling at the moment, and I haven't seen one in my garden for months, if not at all this year.

The talk went really well last night ... I over ran by half an hour .. oops! But everyone seem to enjoy it .. and I pretty much do it without referring to my script now! If I stick some of the facts and figures up on the slides I could probably do away with my notes altogether and replace them with some prompt cards. If I am going to overrun by this much I may need to drop a couple of the birds too.

I did the talk in the High Corner House, in Llanharan. We had a very nice meal, and will definitely be going back there too eat!

Maybe having escape from the office day tomorrow .. watch this space!
