What a Day!!!

Talk about packing things into a day, I am currently sitting exhausted as I write this shortish blog!

I woke early and unable to go back to sleep so I went out for a dawn bird watch. I thought early on I had made a mistake as I hardly saw anything. A fox then galloped past a reed warbler started singing, common terns were sighted. I walked to another part of the sailing lake to see little gulls (lovely birds), common sandpipers, swallows, whitethroat (3 or 4). To round it off I heard a grasshopper warbler reeling  just up from my house (a real treat)

We then drove up to Maidenhead to see my delightful grandson at a pub lunch! He is now 4 and half months. What a treat! We also had about 40 minutes solo!

Yesterday’s Quiz answers (you can tell I worked in primary schools)
