A nature blog today! Had a lovely morning doing the monthly bird survey out by the river. Several highlights but I was fortunate to be close to the River as the Bore came up. I heard it roaring first of all and then watched it. I had never seen it from that area before (almost in line with Splatt Bridge) and I had forgotten how\u00a0magical the Bore is.\u00a0Saw a good number of birds\u00a0including my first\u00a0Stonechats for a while and the Snipe were back in the reed bed.<\/p>\n
I did my usual voluntary Bird watching at Wick Court\u00a0on Tuesday with some delightful children\u00a0who bubbled with enthusiasm. They were rewarded by\u00a0good views of\u00a0the Little Owl, Long Tailed Tits and a Nuthatch. The school saw 26 species altogether.<\/p>\n
Finally we had a wonderful Book Club meal last night.\u00a0The book we are discussing next month is A Short Walk\u00a0in the Hindu Kush. This gave us plenty of scope for our culinary skills. I think we excelled ourselves last night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
