This is the on-line journal of a small ill-defined group of mostly geriatric runners who share a love of the fells. It also covers a sub-group, best described as drinkers with a running problem, who struggle to combine dwindling athletic ability with an increasing thirst for cheap alcohol. A sort of "Last of the Summer Whine" (sic) in Walshes. Posting limited to registered contributors, but comments welcome.
Yes EtU, you are quite likely to have seen the exotic upupa epops on Menorca. About the size of a mistle thrush. They are summer breeding visitors to Central and Southern Europe having travelled from their wintering grounds south of the Sahara. Very occasionally they overshoot to Southern England on their journey north and rarely further north still. This year one has been seen at Beetham, Cumbria.
