Amazed that we have stayed in Tier 2 here in Gloucestershire<\/em> <\/strong>we were expecting to go into Tier 3<\/strong> <\/em>as numbers have been rising. Not that it makes to much difference to us as we continue to be sensible with what we do.<\/p>\n

Today has been a busy day a bit like what it used to be! Out doing a Bird Survey on the River first thing. A slow start but it soon warmed up both temperature wise and birds. 133 Snipe<\/strong><\/em> and two Jack Snipes<\/em> <\/strong>was a particular highlight as well as five Pink footed Geese<\/strong> <\/em>flying over, a couple of hundred Lapwings<\/strong> <\/em>looked wonderful flying down the River in the sunlight. Many other birds to make it an excellent morning. A high tide and the picture below is just before it reached it we thought we had better not hang around!!!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have mentioned the Tides<\/strong> <\/em>and the Bore<\/em><\/strong> before the bank in the near foreground is being significantly eroded and we note it each month.<\/p>\n

I did a decent ride afterwards almost forty miles developing a slow puncture, that needed some air on a couple of occasions!<\/p>\n

Tonight we had a resumption of our Quiz League via Zoom first match since lockdown in March and in our match we scrapped home by one point!<\/p>\n

Incensed reading about\u00a0 Rees Mogg’s comments on Unicef<\/strong> what planet does he live on? Well I can answer that a very privileged planet! Marcus Rashford’s<\/strong> humanity towers over his spitefulness!<\/p>\n

Finally a Tier 2 quiz but on Children’s Books<\/strong> as I mentioned them in yesterday’s blog . Yes I know I did one before!<\/p>\n

a) Who illustrated the Gruffalo<\/span><\/strong>?\u00a0 b) Who wrote Where the Wild Things Are<\/span><\/strong>?\u00a0 c) Which English City<\/span> <\/strong>is where Philip Pullman anchors his Northern Lights Trilogy and subsequent Book of Dust books?\u00a0 d) Where is Swallows and Amazons<\/strong><\/span> set?\u00a0 e) Who does Lucy have tea with in Narnia<\/span><\/strong>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
