Darn sarf!

Just back from a  few days away from the patch (and a PC!) in Berks and Bucks. The weather there was no better than it is here, but Red Kites, Buzzards and Ring-necked Parakeets were, as always, much in evidence.
A ten mile walk around the lanes of Hemblington and Blofield Heath produced some additions to the wild flower pages as well as multiple views of a pair of Marsh Harriers hunting over the barley near Pedham and mint fields at Blofield Heath.
The Turtle Doves are now visiting the garden throughout the day and have grown far less timid: they will even 'see off' the grey squirrels!
