The journey to work during the last 6 weeks has gone from 20 minutes to well in excess of an hour…that is on a good day, and there are not many of those.
The upside of a slow progress though the traffic is that there is always something to look at through the window of my stationary car, other than the line of cars in front of me.

I am sure someone will tell me what this is
I know what birds these are

I feel your pain Ian. My commute to work, from Education City to near the main Post Office on the Corniche, has gone from around thirty-five minutes to well over an hour and ten minutes.
Also,the bird is a Whimbrel – a common migrant during the winter.
