Falco Subbuteo is of course the Latin name for the Hobby. It always tickles me to think the table football game of my youth was named after a bird!

I have just come back from watching three birds flying acrobatically over Court Lake in Frampton. I have mentioned before how entranced I am watching this bird. Added bonus was a Sparrowhawk, Buzzard and a Red Kite making it four different raptors in fifteen minutes! Also saw a Scream of Swifts – my first ones of the year. The only picture I took is of the Ross’s Goose which has been around for a while- see below.

Book Club later in the pub to discuss Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo.
