What was looking to be a hard game turned into an easy victory. Yeovil had beaten Coventry City 6-2 in their previous game away from home but we took an early lead in this game and were the better team from the outset. Yeovil then conceded a penalty that resulted in a dismissal for one of their players. Danny Hylton scored the penalty and it was still in the first half when Yeovil had their second player sent off. The second half was mainly a non event with Luton keeping the ball and running the clock down without taking any risks, a professional performance. We then had a night in Weymouth – a good weekend.

Snowy Owl
The Snowy Owl showed well at Snettisham RSPB today. Did not think I was going to see it when it was not seen at Thornham early on but luckily it was re-found at the end of Snettisham RSPB reserve late morning. I was therefore able to see the bird and get back earlier enough to take my mum out for Mother’s Day.
Horned Lark
Dungeness
A mainly grey and quite cold day at Dungeness. Best birds were Glaucous and Caspian Gulls, pair of Smew, Black-throated Diver, Tree Sparrows and Great White Egret. There were 1000’s of Guillemots, 100’s of Great-crested Grebes and quite a few Red-throated Divers offshore of the fishing boats.

We joined 7500+ Luton supporters in Newcastle for this F A cup game. The game was won by Newcastle in a ten minute spell in the first half when they scored 3 goals. Luton played well in the second half when they scored an early goal, had another incorrectly disallowed and hit the bar from a free kick.
