I mentioned I was jealous that the house martins were building a nest next door-see above! It didn’t take long to build it. Don’t think she has laid any eggs yet. A slightly fussy picture of a linnet below.

It has been a frustrating day here – been suffering with hay fever all day so have felt pretty washed out! Hoping I will be ok for tomorrow’s cricket we are away to Somerset. I am also captaining a Senior’s side against an Australian touring team on Friday.
