You Never See 'Em All Part III

 With more hope in our hearts the following day, as possative info was already being dispensed via the pager, after a most comfortable night at a more than adequate Travel Lodge we were, as Canned Heat might say, "On the Road Again" where at the

it was far more about
PEOPLE
than birds with at least 100 cars already parked along the grass verge,
while the target bird had been seen but only sporadically.
It was highly unlikely that anyone got much more than a 20 second look at the visitor from Asia, a
TWO-BARRED WARBLER
of which there have been fewer than 20 records across the years in Great Britain,
with the ever increasing throng chassing the hapless creature
from
one end of the road to the other.

WIND GENERATORS.
With lunchtime upon us also we had spotted a few things along the course of the
such as
BRENT GEESE
PINTAIL

and tableaux
of the
Four Seasons
at each quarter and food beyond compare!

Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice.
And she said ,"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device".

And in the master's chambers,
they gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives
, but they cannot kill the beast! 

Hotel California - The Eagles
but all to soon it was
time to go home via the
HUMBER BRIDGE
