We saw the Spotted Flycatcher on Sat/Sun. According to a birding book Pied Flycatcher,Wheatear,Cuckoo,Siskins,Redpolls,Crossbills and Fircrests are all likely between the two sites Crowdy and Davidstow Woods.I think like all Reservoirs the best time is later on in the year for the wildfowl.; 23 June 2009 at 14:20

Li Po

(Li Bai Li Po)

Drinking Alone with the Moon

A pot of wine among the flowers.

I drink alone, no friend with me.

I raise a cup to invite the moon.

He and my shadow and I make three.

The moon does not know how to drink;

My shadow mimes my capering;

But I'll make merry with them both-

And soon enough it will be Spring.

I sing- the moon moves to and fro.

I dance- my shadow leaps and sways.

Still sober, we exchange our joys.

Drunk- and we'll go our separate ways.

Let's pledge- beyond human ties- to be friends,

And meet where the Silver River ends.
