So Frustrating

[poliphilo]

Oh look, little yellow birds! I think they're yellowhammers but where's my big bird book?
No problem. I put all the reference books in the bookcase in the lobby. Only...erm...the big bird book isn't there. Which means it could be anywhere. O rats.

By this time Ailz has hit a few keys and there are pictures of yellowhammers all over her computer screen. And, Yes, I was right; the jolly little things hopping about the base of the feeder match the images. And they're a kind of bunting- bigger than most.

But, O where, O where is the big bird book?

The reorganising of the bookshelves I did earlier this year hasn't made it any easier to find things...

Has the big bird book been mis-shelved, or was it not reshelved after the last time you needed to look up a bird? (I know which is more likely in this house...)

I think the first is more likely. The reorganisation is fairly recent and I don't think I've had reason to look up a bird between then and now.
