More dipping, today of all days!

The Safari had a couple of good friends round last night who brought round a cracker of a birthday cake. If it tastes as good as it looks (and we're sure it will) it'll go down a treat!






If anyone would like a gorgeous novelty cake for any occasion let us know and we'll pass on your details; prices vary with species of cake, size, decoration etc etc.
This morning Frank had his stitches out and the vet says he's coming along very well, in advance of where he should be 10 days post op so lets hope he continues to keep improving...still a long way to go before he's fit enough to do more than 10 minute lead walks 3 times a day.
After the vets we headed off for some birthday lunch and to twitch the long staying Spoonbill...lunch was excellent vut the spoony wasn't there!!! No ornithological birthday present then,,,to rub salt in there was an Osprey close by, possibly even overhead if the racket the gulls started making at 07.30, and then a Sabine's Gull past work this morning :-( Not to mention the two Bottle Nosed Dolphins very early in the morning.
We had an hour on the prom at Chat Alley this evening but there was nothing doing apart from a a handful of distant Gannets. We gave up when the very pleasant afternoon sun made viewing conditions almost impossible. The gull pics don't do the warm afternoon justice.


Where to next? Back to work tomorrow and hopefully not an empty Patch 2,
In the meantime let us know what the favourite flavour of cake is in your outback.

What an ace looking cake, it looks way too good to eat! Has to be done though I suppose.

Many happy returns for yesterday Dave.
