My parents phoned me up from Devon the other day to tell me they’d seen a penduline tit, great northern diver, cirl bunting, red necked grebe and a velvet scoter all in one day just a week after seeing the snowy owl down in cornwall. To say I was jealous is an understatement. But then I realised that maybe i should just be grateful for the beautiful town (aberystwyth) that i get to live in where great wildlife and beautiful views are right on the doorstep. I suppose we should be grateful for what we have rather than jealous of what we don’t. Snowy owl would still have been good though!
