WAIT UNTIL DARK

TREE PIPITTREE PIPIT

At Stodmarsh on thursday Iwas reliably informed that the Kings Wood nightjars had performed impressively on the previous evening so as it would be my last opportunity for a while to go there I went last night.Got there just after eight ,lovely evening,straight away found the singing tree pipit then waited for the sun to go down, it seemed to take forever then a bit longer for the light to fade, nothing.As it got darker even the blackbird and song thrush that had been going at it big time ,gave up the ghost, not even a churr to be heard, well thats birding but at least I got back to the Railway Bell for a beer.If anyone is interested they are showing the 1966 world cup final there next thursday evening,thats the one we won against West Germany.
