' Today the sun shone when It rained. I should have been happy. My mind should have been full of the sweet things poets sweat their guts out writing about. But it wasn't. It was full of rubber bullets, jackboots and bleeding bodies. I think the knurled knob of my mind has been rubbed smooth by the insensitivity of life. I can no longer tune in to reality. I've got to do something! '
Produced by JOHN POWELL
Robert Dougall recalls a memorable day he spent in May 1971 at this well-known Suffolk bird sanctuary of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, in the company of its Warden HERBERT AXELL.
