Migration Fever

Saturday April 17
Not only migration fever but a wish to avoid watching the Manchester Derby, awful for the nerves, was the motivation for driving to The Paddocks at Holme. We met Dave and Chris Holman on the dunes which helped us to locate two Common and one Lesser Whitethroat. We'd planned to visit Jed and Sophie at the NOA but, the paths were cordoned off with police tape. A bomb had been found near the NOA dune hide. Talking to Pat at the NWT, they were sure that it wasn't there in the morning and had been picked up on the beach by a kid and then ordered to leave it by a panicked parent. Sounds feasible.
We snacked our way home, lunch at Titchwell, icecream at Salthouse and heard Scholes score the only goal in extra time at the City ground to put us one point behind Chelsea who were playing Spurs later. Then, Norwich City clinched promotion back to the Championship and Spurs beat Chelsea. Game on. What a great day !!
