This week just gone

Whilst oscillating between Gloucestercestershire [the joke that will never tire] and South Wales I have been criss-crossing paths with: lots of Wheatear and Whitethroat, and smaller numbers of Little Ringed Plover, Green Sandpiper, Redstart, Reed Warbler and House Martin. Throughout, Swallows and Sand Martins passed by, sometimes at knee height into the breeze but mostly a tad higher up.

You can never have enough barb,... ask any farmer, gamekeeper, prison camp commandant, etc.
