Just to give some advance warning, I'm away for a week from monday 20th October. I'm going to Menorca where I hope to do lots of walking and birdwatching (as in ornithology!). It's a favourite place of mine, although I'm going on my own this year - it does mean I can do what I want every day.
I'm taking a small laptop with me, so I will be writing in the evenings at least some of the time, I do have a couple of books to read as well and there will still be the Guardian crossword to do battle with. However, I don't know if I'll be able to post anything, so expect me to be absent.
Talking of bird watching, I was out this morning in the driving rain at Radipole lake RSPB reserve and saw reedlings or bearded tits, a species which has eluded me for some time. So the soaking was worthwhile. Patience, or maybe perseverance eventually pays off.

Bearded tits?
Waxing sounds too painful, I'd get lazer treatment. ;-)

A lovely trio..
That is a really nice shot. I do enjoy seeing birds, but don't have your drive to hunt down specific species.
Have fun on your vacation. Don't worry about us back here. We'll survive, in anticipation of you sharing a little of what you write, upon your return.

Enjoy the break
I've had 3 dinghy racing holidays in Menorca based on Fornells bay, an absolutely brilliant place to sail. I took my bike on one occasion mainly to get from the airport to the resort (Well, it was cheaper than a taxi as the bike travelled for nowt. :) ) Did a bit of cycling around but I didn't find it very good as there are so few roads. Good for other thing though, like dormice? Will Cathy be there?
