My goodness the last few days have been wet with some really heavy downpours!

Luckily this morning when doing the monthly bird survey out by the River Severn it was dry but windy! The ground was of course waterlogged. and there was plenty of evidence of last week’s five star Bores with flotsam littered everywhere. Saw my first Sand Martin, Avocet and Wheatear of the year! Heard stories of some Blackbirds that have already fledged!!!

The Two Severn Bores are rehearsing tonight to get back up to speed for our gig next month. It is amazing how much you forget about parts of a story if you haven’t told since last November!

The pictures for today are from India where the weather was certainly predictable – no rain and hot. I guess you don’t need many weather forecasters! One picture is me bowling in the net and the other two are silly ones! (p.s. those who know my cricketing abilities will know I am not a bowler!)

The one below the signs says “parking for the physically challenged” – which might be appropriate for the Glos Seniors Tourists!

This one is Sean and I being silly before play at the Rajkot Test Match! Note we are in our distinctive  tour shirts which you couldn’t miss us in. It get some comments from the commentators on T.V.!
