Forgot to mention how Thursday’s Bird Survey went. A real surprise was a Cuckoo flying near us, we got excited about this, the adult birds  are usually well gone by this time of year. I think this is the latest I have seen an adult, I’ve seen juveniles in early September. We also saw a Redstart a rarity in Frampton.

Finally been on the bike quite a bit this week and yesterday Clare and I went to Nailsworth and climbed up to Minchinhampton, she is really enjoying her new bike!
