Our book club’s choice for this month is the Simon Barnes book in the title above. As we are always on Zoom these days so for this Wednesday’s meeting  I am planning my background-it will either be full of bird pictures or my extensive Bird Book Collection! I have a good number of bird books because I usually get a guide for birds in the areas we go on holiday so my collection has grown (although we won’t be doing that for a while!) I am also going to have bird song playing in the background and probably have a couple of my bird puppets handy. Hope it makes my fellow bookies smile! Well it seems like everybody else plans their backgrounds!

We are lucky to live where we do because we have a good mix of habitats so there is always something to see. I am hoping to see if the Starling  Murmuration has grown tomorrow. I am hoping the Short Eared Owl reappears soon -I will of course mention it when I see one! On today’s walk we saw Meadow Pipits and a Volery of Wagtails (hope you are impressed by the collective noun!
