4/15 Black-tailed godwits who spend their winters on UK coastlines might be heading up to Iceland around about now; some have even been known to do the whole 1000+miles without stopping!

30th January 1019 AD. The last Bear in England stood by the flat golden shores of the Wash, midst the oystercatchers & the godwits. His heart was troubling him & he had little strength left. As the moon rose, he felt dizzy & fell there on the soft dunes, under a blaze of stars.
