He spoke to me I recall but I don't know what he said, only that my father told me who it was afterwards.I think I was about seven or eight at the time. memories!

We saw the usual Kestrels that hang out by our home in abundance and then we heard a strange noise. As we looked across the frost covered fields, we noticed two storks. Storks!! Never seen one in real so I was thrilled. Unfortunately, neither of us had a camera :( I hope all goes well for Dusty on Tuesday. All the best.

I disturbed one once as I walked by the connecting brook. I was more scared than the heron. Maybe Dusty has sniffed something on the beach that he is allergic to. Hope you get it sorted this time.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938216505505274248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-63915629164772493172014-12-07T18:26:46.249+00:002014-12-07T18:26:46.249+00:00I didn't either, Frances.
