"Curlews Playing Chicken" episode 102.

Well as I turned the first corner from my street I headed up the small incline to find four of them having a morning pow wow. I came to a complete stop, three of them dispersed immediately leaving one stubborn straggler that eventually understood the assignment.

I carried on for a hundred metres to once again completely stop to allow another one to enjoy the rest of the day. I continued again happy knowing I had successfully run the gauntlet of feathers. As I neared the end of that stretch one more suddenly appeared from the safety of a downed branch, just appeared in a flash but thankfully darted back to the safety of said branch, lucky for both of us because I'm not sure I could have avoided this one this time. I was doing about 50 ks I reckon. The rest of that first leg of my journey continued without incident thank goodness.

Well today I'm back to wearing my hoodie which seems to be a good decision. My sister back in England happily reports that they're "basking" in 16 degrees, and here am I shivering in 20 degrees, wonderful.

Enjoy the day lovelies.
