As today is the final of the League Cup (Capital Cup) between Bradford City and Swansea City I thought it would be a good idea to post a picture of the League Cup ( Littlewoods Cup) that Luton Town won in the best final ever when they beat Arsenal 3-2 at Wembley on 24/8/1988. With seven minutes left to play Luton were losing 2-1 , but with goals from Danny Wilson and Brian Stein we went on to win the game. What a great day!.

Went to see Harry Hill. Sausage Time tour. Don’t know how to describe this show, funny at times but also quite bizarre.
Went to Therfield Heath near Royston first, where the highlight was Great Grey Shrike, then onto Sandy RSPB. Here are some images of the birds on and around the feeders at The Lodge, Sandy RSPB.

The end of our cup run with a 0-3 defeat at home. A bit of a disappointing result with mistakes being made for the goals especially the first goal. Attendance 9768.

At the end of the game
were the police expecting a riot?
A lunchtime dash to Brogborough Lake to see the Leachs Petrel that was found there this morning. An unusual inland record for this seabird, although it is the second one I have seen at this site.
Started the day early with a trip out to Priory Country Park to see the drake Ferruginous Duck and Black Necked Grebe that have been there for the last week.
I then went home picked my son Michael up and we went to Norfolk for the weekend. We went to Buckenham RSPB to see the Taiga Bean Geese, to Haddiscoe for a Rough Legged Buzzard and then onto Stubb Mill, Hickling Broad where I saw 2 Hen Harriers, numerous Marsh Harriers and a Merlin come into roost.
We also had time to go to Winterton so my son could take pictures and video of the lighthouse there which he will post to his website worldwidelighthouses.com and youtube.
