Windy Balyang

October 1, 2013 by jade@jadecraven.com Leave a Comment

Today was the first time I had been birdwatching in about a week. It’s weird how reluctant I am to go on an adventure, despite feeling a lot healthier. I nearly didn’t go as Glenn didn’t want to come with me. The weather this morning was horribly windy, with hail and sideways rain.… Read the rest

I agreed – if my dad could pick us up afterwards and take us for a quick look at Jerringot, as I know the little dude would love the bird hide.… Read the rest
