Off to Edgbaston tomorrow for the Test Match- game looks well poised after today. Looking forward to seeing Brook bat- a really talented player. Forecast looks ok!!!

Continuing the sporting theme my season ticket (well card) arrived last week but we have got some silly kick off times in the first two months! It disappointing how TV doesn’t take into account travelling fans. Ironically most of last season wasn’t too bad for kick off times.

On the bird front saw quite a few swifts flying over today.

I have my last story telling of the summer next week so really need to get down to both writing and learning new stories to tell.

One last photo from Bempton below- although you can’t see them on the rock there are thousands of gannets nesting on precarious ledges and there were many more rock faces with ledges full of birds.
