RECUPERATING MARATHON RUNNER SURINDER TURNS HAND TO A BIT OF BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY

Surinder pauses to click a snap of a bird sunning its feathers at Cleethorpes Boating Lake  

 

THE sight of long-distance runner Surinder Fowler pounding the pavements of North East Lincolnshire used to be a familiar one.

But not any more - at least for the time being.

All that jarring of her joints has taken its toll, and she has had to undergo operations on both knees.

The crunch came, almost literally, after competing in two marathons - one in South Africa, the other London - left her with some painful twinges.

Her father came to the rescue, paying for treatment involving steel implants, stretching partway down both shins - a complicated procedure which also involved insertion of no fewer than 42 screws.

But the  great news is that Surinder's right leg is mended and rarin' to go, while her left leg is steadily catching up.

In the meantime, she is doing plenty of walking - and a bit of bird photography as here at Cleethorpes Boating Lake.


Is it a robin or a thrush? No, neither - it's definitely a cormorant
