A sad poignant day today as my cricket club said goodbye to one of our stalwarts Ken. Sadly because of circumstances we couldn’t go to his funeral so instead stood by the roadside and a group of us raised our cricket bats as the hearse went past.

On a happier note I watched more murmurations tonight-thousands of birds but they didn’t drop into the reed bed I expected! Also heard a Water Rail and saw a Marsh Harrier.

Today’s Quiz question -these are all collective nouns -can you say what animal they go with! Some you can get with a guess! Good luck!

a)   Skein    b)  Shiver   c)  Stench  d) Worm e) Cast f) Exultation  g) Stand h) Prickle
