Picked up the bike this lunchtime after its MoT and service - and since it was a nice day I went for a bit of a spin to blow the New Year cobwebs away.
After an hour or so I stopped for a cuppa and a bit of a warm-up - and my phone pinged.
It was the lovely gness alerting me to 'Waxwings in Kettering' - so get back on bike, observing all speed limits (honestly), straight to Morrison's car park.
Spotted the assorted twitchers first and then the waxwing (just one by then) sitting obligingly in a nearby tree. A beautiful bird :+)
Then repaired to the pub for a chip butty and a warm - finally a blast along the A14 and M6 to get home just before dusk - perfick :+)
