Shadowfax my trusty steed  was heavily laden this morning as I cycled off to Tuffley Library Gloucester. I was doing stories as part of a bird walk in the immediate  locality of the library. I enjoyed my time with the delightful families that joined me many of whom had impressive knowledge of birds. I have some pictures from the morning but currently struggling with the format they are in. It was hard work cycling with a heavily laden bike so the body feels it now! For the young man who was holding a bird’s egg it could of been a Mallard’s egg although it looked small –Woodpigeon is another possibility (both are white eggs).

I have two Huddersfield supporters joining me tonight to watch the match – I hope they are disappointed even though they are friends! COYH!!!!!
