A special present for a brother’s 65th birthday. Brief: ‘…a fireman with the London Fire Brigade…a security officer on the pier of the O2 (The Millenium Dome) in Greenwich…loves being near the water…can sit and watch a rough sea for hours and is fascinated by shipwrecks…always liked watching the birds and they are visited regularly by a green woodpecker as well as the regular robins, blackbirds etc. A few weeks ago they were surprised to see a kestrel sitting on one of their trees, needless to say there wasn’t another bird in sight! As he is a regular at the local pub, I guess a pint of beer ought to be mentioned.’
