Paul McCartney saves birding "hide"
I knew from discussion of his song "Jenny Wren" that Paul was a casual birder. I'm happy to learn that he is getting into it more.

SIR PAUL McCartney has struck a deal with planners to demolish estranged wife Heather's country hideaway - so he can save his own bird-watching hut.

The former Beatle has been getting over his bitter marriage split by spending hours alone viewing rare species on his sprawling estate.

Macca's bird-watching hut and Heather's £1million log cabin were built three years ago in the grounds of his home in Peasmarsh, East Sussex.
<snip>
Macca, 64, is now an expert at spotting the many rare species - including long-eared owls, grey wagtails, red kites and bearded tits - who nest on his 933 acres.
