I forgot to mention in recent blogs our Bird Survey last Thursday. It was fairly quiet it usually is late July. However, once we were surrounded by curious cattle we had a flurry of bird activity 60+ Starlings and the highlight was 30+ Yellow Wagtails including several  juveniles. Yellow Wagtails are migrants and we usually get two or three nesting pairs around the whole Frampton area so to see 30 was a surprise. Picture below of one of these handsome birds.

I played possibly my last game of cricket for this season yesterday and was absolutely exhausted after running many quick runs (we put on 36 in five overs) and plenty of boundary chases and dives (dangerous at my age!) I slept well!

My sporting journey continues – I am at Trent Bridge tomorrow for the Test Match and at the real Theatre of Dreams to watch my first football match in person since Covid stopped us. It was Wigan – Luton on 7-3-20!
