I am def working too much. I am losing sense of where i am in the week! Mostly because I just blogged a saturday without the sunday!
So… SUnday! 
We met up with the manorborns at an rspb place at fen drayton where there are good swallow murmurations. unfortunately, the day before we went, the rspb posted most had migrated – argh!! anyway, we thought we would stick with the plan, and have a nice tramp around and perhaps pick up a geocache or too. it was a chilly day but sunny, and we met up in the carpark, ate lunch, and after a bit of wiffling, set off. the wrong way. after a couple of geocache clues, we realised we hadn’t headed in the right direction so retraced steps. we got back to carpark and set off the otherway up the track, after debating whether we should take a footpath heading west or the track north as the clues not so clear. we went north, but when we saw a footpath pointing to the river, we thought that was prob it. it wasn’t as it ended in scrub, nettles and a barb wire fence

so we went towards the other foorpath, and i went down a rabbit hole!! [in truth, it was v sandy, and i collapsed a rabbit chamber ] so we waded through stingers to the wrong path, went the wrong way again and ended on the busway 100m from where we had prev arrived when went wrong. much hilarity ensued

so we gave up on the multicache, and instead went for a walk around to find a single chace, which we did [tho were told off by c for being noisy, as it is a bird place and we were frightening them off pots and kettles! ] and went to a hide, chased out the real bird watchers and then had a good view.

we found a microcache on the way back – some panic when sb dropped it into the brush as it was getting dark. amazingly we found it, thanks to a torch app on DH phone!! we didn’t make it back for the murmuration either – there were only 500 starlings, i must have nearly that number in the garden 
but did get a great view of rooks flying over one of the lakes in twilight.
