Be especially careful about that parking situation.

I tried this AM and met up with Tom Feild.
No luck with the flycatcher and, also, no luck with parking as
Tom's car became quickly stuck on the right side
(going south away from the sycamore roost tree) where it looked
grassy but turned out to be very soft earth under the grass.
