I know many of you will have tackled the RSPB Birdwatch this weekend. We record the birds in our garden weekly for the BTO but today was slightly different because we focused for a whole hour rather than recording incidentally. We were pleased to record 15 different species, one surprise for us was a House Sparrow although a common garden bird we only see them infrequently in our garden even though there are plenty just around the corner from our house. Talking of watching birds I took part in our monthly survey on the Severn last week – we had a good morning one special highlight was seeing three Hares, this is the third month running we have seen a Hare on our patch after years of seeing none.

Football yesterday was an entertaining hard fought game ending goalless but it was not one for the purist as a strong wind stopped both teams playing fluent football. Still reassuring the Mighty Hatters can hold their own against the top sides.

Today I went for a rehearsal for my friend Brian’s play Between Severn Tides I missed last week. (the play is inspired By Under Milk Wood). It a darkly comic tale and will be performed in April (details in future blogs).
