Read the instructions first

Looked for, but failed to find, the Hawfinch this morning. Crossed the river via a long, slippery, swinging footbridge. Quite a challenge for someone who is not good with heights. Then headed downstream. No luck. Got home. Looked at map again. Realised I should have walked upstream. Doh! Thinking of returning tomorrow. There's nothing I like to do more on a drizzly morning than stare wistfully up into the empty branches of a Hornbeam tree.
