Last night's run "Come on, it's late and we need to get home for tea OOO STOP LOOK SWIFTS!" "We really need to get moving AAAHHHHHH STOP SIX DUCKLINGS!" "Right, home time SQUEEEEE STOP TINY GOSLINGS!". And that was just the ornithological stops, we also have to stop and have a chat with Every Single Lamb :-)

That sounds lovely. :)

I think I'll go and see if I can count the cygnets later.

A perfect outing Kinks 😀

House Sparrow super noisy again today. Really, really noisy. It’s either a fledger or a male after a new partner. Swifts screaming overhead.

Today’s crying (as in 😢) at nature was at a magpie that was killing a fledgeling - dave thinks it was a starling. It had it pinned to the ground and was pecking at it while a starling squawked really loudly at it and tried to peck the magpie. I thought it was a blue tit, but I think Dave was able to watch for longer than me 😬 We were alerted by the noise the parents were making.

I know it’s ‘nature’ but still not nice to see.

Spotted on today's long run. I imagine not uncommon here, but this was a waterway outside my normal running range and I haven't snapped one before.

I do like the shelducks, we're lucky enough to have large numbers of breeding pairs on our river.

Swiftless still.
