I am going to succumb to the lure of the sea, or at least of the coast, today. Given the weather forecast, this is also my plan for the weekend.<\/p>\n
The last couple of months have been extremely hard work. I\u2019m not complaining. I have complete control over what I do, so if I work hard, that is by my own choice.<\/p>\n
That said, over the last couple of weeks, my forthcoming book has entered the production process with the publisher, and this is always the stage that I find hardest when it comes to a book. In this case, the inclusion of around 30 infographics has complicated the whole process.<\/p>\n
The fact that James, in our team, has also been putting together a first edition book of our infographics, which has also required some work from me, as well as the social media work I have been doing of late, means that I need a few days watching birds.<\/p>\n
The lure of Holme, Titchwell, Holkham, Blakeney, Cley, Salthouse and more is very strong at the moment, fuelled by daily reports of interesting sightings from each of these.<\/p>\n
This does not mean the blog will go quiet. It does mean that moderation might take quite a long time. Even now, internet connections on the Norfolk coast are not always the most reliable, and I will be absent during the daytime most of this weekend.<\/p>\n
I apologise, but not that much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
