Lucky - Radiohead

I'm on a roll,
I'm on a roll this time!
I feel my luck could change.

Kill me, Sarah
Kill me again with love,
It's gonna be a glorious day.

and back in the saddle as hoped!

 Harking back to the Post of Tuesady and more particularly the in flight

where had we not stopped we would not have recorded a second species for the
Recording Area Year List

which can be heard at the end of the video clip.
With yet another blank at the Irrigation Pond we did catch sight of this

where there were but c3 birds all
TUFTED DUCK

making for a hat-trick of
First's for the Property this Year.
A little dull on the way to the Sewerage Works where once again there was no signs of
Black Redstart or Siberian Chiffchaff, but a loan
COAL TIT
had us avoiding a 'blank'!
Only a single

looking rather like a Whale's rib cage but nothing more than our
