As I was setting the first 4 caches of the series I walked the lanes around the vast sight of Hinkley Point C, Despite the huge construction site I saw plenty of bird life on my evening walk
I turned North along the green lane and placed caches #1 , #2 and #3
In the hedges I saw and heard the following birds.
Identify the birds and replace the Highlighted information into the Coordinates below.
The first I saw, was a pair of these, scurrying across the lane about 20yards in front of me.
A= R _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ e A=3rd letter -11th letter
Then I heard this bird and stopped to look into the hedge to identify it, I saw it was a female.
B= C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
B = 2nd letter - 4th letter
As I climbed the hill I heard a screech call and looked up to see a now familiar sight in our skies, I always love watch these birds wheel around the skies and being chased off by smaller birds.
C=B _ _ _ _ _ _
C=5th letter
From the crest of the rise I turned West and headed towards placing #4 and looked out across the Bristol Channel. I headed down to the shore and saw a few birds on the sand and close in
There was on the jetty a couple of these drying their wings after a fishing trip, always remind me of batman.
D= _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ T
D = 1st letter + 7th letter
Several Gulls were wheeling about overhead calling noisily, but down by the shore this little bird was running along the waters edge and quickly flitting catching flies.
E= P _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ L
E= 7th letter - 3rd letter
And finally in the brambles at the edge of the cliff I saw several of these tiny birds perched on the upper stalks as if on the look out and calling a warning as I approached
F= R _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ G
F= 3rd letter + 5th letter
After seeing these little birds I found the hiding place for the cache.
Use the normal convention of A=1, B=2, C=3, etc;
