It was our birdgroup's annual visit to Derwent Dale to look for raptors. We got 6 buzzards, 2 peregrines, 2 kestrels, 4 sparrow hawks & 3 goshawks, where a pair were displaying. All-in-all a good day:-)

I popped along to our local in the evening & had several pints of Thornbridge, redman. Very good it was too:-)
I forgot to mention that I saw 4 mountain hares still in their winter coats, they stood out like sore thumbs & kept getting attacked by buzzards (unsucessfully).

I can only manage 1pt of jaipur, usually at the end of the evening, as it's too 'king strong. I stick to the weaker stuff to start off with.
