After getting up at 3am yesterday, driving down to Somerset to fish a fishing match, which I did rubbish in, and then getting back for 10.00 pm, today I am going to chill.  I have just returned from Whitemoor, which I will tell you about later.
For me, one thing in my birding life I would love to acheive is find a special bird at one of the local places I visit a lot.  Last weekend I had the next best thing......in a way.  On Friday a Spotted Crake was found at Willington.  Last weekend, after not being able to get on the third platform I remember heading past platform 2, deciding to have a quick look and, as a Spotted Crake had been seen somewhere else that day or the previous day, I remember thinking to myself that this would be a great place for a crake.  Five days later and one was there.  therefore, I nearly found the Spotted Crake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had a pain in the groin (dont worry, its not too graphic), for the last few months and whilst playing golf last Thursday I was struggling to walk on the last holes.  I had a doctors appointment on friday and it looks like I have torn my groin ligaments.  Thats what playing football does for you when overweight and getting on a bit.  This means no long stomps over the pits.  I have just walked around whitemoor which is 1.7 miles and I am ok but starting to feel it at the end.  I have four weeks to rest it and do minor activities only.  What do you mean hooray?!!!
