In some 20 years ol observations at this site, I have only once helore seen oystcr- c a t r h e r s t h e r e i n February and that was towards the end of the month. 1 have no previ-
ringed plover at all; it is normally mid-March or even later before they arrive.
U n l ik e the previous
two species which breed on or mound the shores of the reservoir, dunlin breed on the surrounding lolls, albeit in sninll luim- liers. However, they do runic down to the reser vo ir to feed. One was present lust week. Like the ringed plover, they are not normally seen before mid-Mareh at the earliest.

THEY were sailing down the St Eawrcncc r iv e r and il was a thrilling thought to realise that they were soon to pass down the dangerous
l.ong Sualt Rapids.
Th e y had been informed that only one man l iv ing was capable ol piloting that boat saiely through
tin- rushing, foaming waters. 'flu- boat was anchored at a salt* distance- trum the
falls, to await their pilot to conu- aboard. 'I his man. said to In- tho only porson t-vor to have brought a vossol salV-ly through these turbulent waters, turned
out to lie a stalwart American Indian. With every passenger's eyes upon him. lie took
over the wheel to turn the prow of the boat towards tin- ventre of the swirling rapids. Holding the vessel steady as it began to move through the rushing waters, h r steered it between rocks that protruded
out of the water little more than an arm’s length from the hull of the boat. Witli unerring accuracy, this pilot, wlin knew exactly what lit* was doing, steered his hunt full of passengers nut of the danger area. Those who were watching the whole performance most intentlv breathed again with reliet. There is a parallel in life's experiences here. Many
of us have to pass through what, for us. are unchar tered waters, full of dangerous possibilities. Jesus can
pilot us through our difficult times and navigate us to safety as no other could. F ir s t , we need to pause and put out tile anchor of faith, in trust. Ho knows the way and all its hazards and we may safely rely on His guiding hand.
. i f we are fully committed to His service. He is able
to take control of our lives and lead us through the perilous places to saiety. Jesus always knows tin- way tu get us through our difficult times, so when we rely oil His guidance we have on cause ior fear, liven though the way ahead seems fraught with danger. Jesus will always see us through, as we put our faith
in Him. Do Vim heliere this? Why. then, are you so appre
hensive about the future? With Jesus to pilot you through, you have no cause tor tear. Next time you are about to launch into a new undertaking and face unknown possibilities, do not forget to pause and put nut the anchor of faith to permit the pilot you can trust to come aboard. I should like to pass on a great truth 1 received
the other dav. “Ghristians are like tea hags . . . yes. tea bags. Thi-v really show what is in them when they get into hot water.'” It's worth having a think and a chuckle abuiit. isn't it?

tive of sounds. 1 heard my f ir s t lo c a l ly la st week, surprisingly before
I had heard Mai lings imi ta ting them. Although not yet hack up in How land itself, curlews have arrived in the lower parts
of (lie area. Sh o u ld the w e a th e r
become mu eh co ld e r a g a in , at le a s t these waders have the option of returning to the coast until the worst is over. Not so the frogs, which have already laid spawn
in the Storks area. In u sh a l lo w d itch w it l i
water area of less than 12
sq ft. I counted over 71) frogs and six batches oi spawn lust week. Recent re se a rch has
shown that one trigger for frogs to emerge Irom hibernation is a night time temperature above degrees G associated with rain. Since these contli lions are almost always fo l lo w e d by f u r t h e r night-time frosts. I uni not sure how these cold blooded animals cope. I f all the frogs' eggs
matured into adult frogs we would have a plague. T h is does not happen b ecause tadp oles and y o u n g f ro g s hav e so many natural predators. I cannot help seeing a p a ra l le l lie re with the Rowland rabbit problem.
Would the number of rab b its he as great il humans did not control their natural predators? These predators are Imth mammalian and avian. Where a re the foxes, s t o a t s , r a v e n s a nd buzzards?

Blackburn-6ased pri- mary school teacher g o t th e id e a for a round-the-world cycle
T h e 3 3 - y e a r - o ld
by . . . Theresa Robson
trip three years ago, after completing a cycle tour of Northern Ireland that raised £7,0110 for cancer research.
Mr Sumner undertook the Ir ish trip witli his dose
friend, D a v id E van s , whose late wife, Pauline, died of cancer, aged ju s t 20.
L it t le did i ’eter Sumner know that bis latest trek
would take him In months, across 22 countries and jour continents and would mean cycling over 1.7,000 miles, with a fu r th e r 20,000 covered by other modes of
transport. Mr Sumner said: “One day, in the USA, we cycled
for 170 miles. We were exhausted that night. My legs were still pedalling when I was in bed!"
Some of Mr Sumner’s favourite incidents involve
people’s use of Knglish. He said of one incident in Th a i land: “We were tired and decided to rest and look at a temple that had about 100 steps lip to it. We were trudging up the steps towards some I hai boys, u im were giggling about something. As we gut about h ie steps awav from them, they s ta lled saying something that sounded like “ sneak,sneak!" When we saw what they were talking about, we turned and jumped about 10 steps at a time to the bottom —- it was a very angrv-looking snake!"
In one Indian village. Mr Sumner remembers people
communicating in the only Hnglish words they knew, “Clary Lineker" and “ l'aul Gaseoine,” while, in Gun, one young hoy approached them and said, quite simply:
“ Hello chaps, hmv are you?” Cycling around the world is nut without its hazards
and Peter Sumner certainly met with plenty of them — the animal kind in particular!
He said: "Dogs are my favourite animal, but not
when I am riding my bike. We were chased and r-juv- vied, harrassed and hounded by dogs of every kind. From Grea t Dane to P e kinese, they all h ai e one thing in common — they cannot resist tin* sight of a fleshy calf muscle. One Ja ck Russell te r r ie r even made an air attack, using a lorry as a launching pad!
Other animals, such as the endearing kimily ol lour
kangaroos who, overcome with curiosity, lol owed Mr Sumner and his party through Queensland, proved
far less ol a threat. A round-the-world trip would not he complete with
out a dose of "Kathmandu Quickstep." either, and Peter Sumner was no exception.

worry, you not die today!" I ’eter Sumner’s anecdotes are endless and they have
been captured for children in an excitinir workbook called "Around the World in h ighly \\ eeks. which is soon to be featured by tMitheroe’s Kaydee bookshop.
