14:07 Like Matt, decided to get on my bike today. Cycled to Gr Holland and down footpath, cross golf course, along front and return along road. Must say how nice it was to cycle along roads with little traffic, took me back to my youth. Best bird was the 1st year Male Ringtail Hen Harrier Picked up at the back edge of Golf ,Course while talking to Matt, Made all the effort worthwhile.
