Day 23 Report - pt 2

...and as the cycle tour chose the same lunch spot as me (a nice wee river estuary side cafe) there was chat with lunch. They were on day 5 of a 6 day tour. About 50 miles a day and winetasting and gourmet food. Sound good? Yup.

I only had 10 miles to go after lunch and got a motel room in a place called Bodega Bay. At yesterdays breakfast a guy called Edward from shropshire had told me Hitchcock filmed "the birds" here. Spooky then that on spinning into town the first thing i noticed were the swarms (flocks?) of noisy starling type birds!. There are also many more birds down on the harbour. I witnessed a brawl between a cormorant and a heron over a roosting area. Cormorant won! But the Heron then displaced a gull form his faavourite spot. The natural pecking order i suppose (sorry!).

Ok Im all caught up on reports but im sure ive got some more pics of the Oregon coast to post ;) Maybe tomorrow...Im sure theres an old song with those words...!
