A delightful day bird watching with Y5 children from Manchester<\/strong> at Wick Court<\/strong>. I managed to catch a glimpse of the 5 star Bore<\/strong> <\/span>on the River<\/span><\/strong>. Amazing to see the far bank got completely swamped – I’ve never seen that before at that part of the River Severn.<\/strong><\/span> We saw plenty of different species although nothing unexpected. We didn’t have much bird action with the afternoon group so I took them on a vole hunt (well looking for evidence of voles!) We had great fun and I had some great nature detectives with me! Amazing how much evidence there was!<\/p>\n

On the book front I finished Demon Copperhead<\/strong> by Barbara Kingsolver<\/strong> a couple of days ago. I found it thoroughly engaging and I think Dickens<\/strong> would be pleased by the book! I have just started reading Camouflage<\/strong> (about Indian Soldiers in the two world wars) it was one of the books I was given in India.<\/p>\n

Fingers crossed that my injury ravaged Mighty Hatters<\/strong><\/span> get a result tonight at the rearranged game at\u00a0 Bournemouth<\/strong>– it will be an emotional game following what happened in the original game when our captain collapsed on the pitch.<\/p>\n
