I've not done much birding this summer, apart from holidays.
That's because of the following :
Poppy, our Golden Retriever pup, arrived from County Durham at the end of April, just at migration time !!
So all my time has been taken up settling in our baby. Feeding three times a day and daily training.
She soon found the pond !!! and her way around the garden.
She's been going to training at West Lancs Canine Centre in Formby every Tuesday night and has made lots of friends, canine and human. Boot, the bearded collie, Ira, and Noodle, the poodle just to name a few !!!
She's learned to sit (sometimes) lie down (occasionally) stay (she's good at that) and to walk to heel (if I can go as fast as her)
She's hopefully going to do her Bronze Kennel Club award at the end of September, she should have done it in June but she broke a bone in her foot during 'rough and tumble' with the other club pups.
She's six months now and well settled down, Jet has learned to tolerate her boisterous moments and they love to lie together.
So my annual total this year looks unlikely to exceed 170 !! so much for 200 in a year, and the local birds I've missed !! Hopefully they'll be back next year.
Maybe, next year, she can help me find them ??!!??
