Number 14 crossed the English Channel between Calais and Dover on Monday afternoon. He then headed in a north-westerly (good direction) direction until 8.00 pm. If you live near Great Buckland in Kent and saw a strange bird sitting in a tree eating a fish do let us know, meanwhile if you are an interested bird watcher and see an osprey with a small aerial on its back, likewise.

For all those country counters Number 14 has now reached thirty countries visited – Luxembourg.

Where will this bird turn up next ? Rutland Water?, Bassenthwaite? Wimbledon?

Watch the skies as well as this space!
