Non birdy day

Had a day at my gran's which involved sitting in the sun whilst being virtually perched upon by a (very) confiding Song Thrush. The journey there is a pleasant one of 30 odd miles across the wolds and ryedale. A couple of nice birds, first a pair of Swallows at Kilham were my first of the year and a Red Kite south of Pickering was a good sighting. Other than that the wife had really bad morning sickness which threatened to spoil the interior of my car at one point.
