Birding Group Visit to Marbury Country Park 3rd April 2012
We had a bit of a dodgy start to our morning out with the birding group as we got no further than a couple of streets away before we realized that we had a completely flat tyre. This meant that we had to wait for an hour for the repair van to arrive to fix it. By the time that was done and we were back on our way we were at least an hour and a quarter behind the others in the group. We still wanted to go, however, as much because this was the “last day of term” where it is customary for the group to have a lunch and plan the next terms places to visit. Given that there were already a lot of people away that week the three of us amounted to half those able to attend. So we continued on our way hoping to meet up with the others somewhere along the route when we got to Marbury.
