I’ve been suffering from dreich recently, really fed up of dull, grey days, they just seem to go on and on, it’s almost the end of June and I feel like we’ve only seen the Sun a few times this year. … More A Walk and a Lifer
Some of you may remember that I’ve been lurking in that area quite a bit recently, watching for Fox cubs but also, listening to an elusive Garden Warbler which continues to sing its heart out from the surrounding cover but pop out to be photographed?
