Team Wolf Alice from last night. I’ve known these Herbert’s for 37 years ffs.
Good to catch up, as we’re in far flung corners of the Galaxy now.

Sunny and frosty morning at Eyebrook.
Sun in the wrong spot for finding the Yank wigeon.
But a juvenile Whooper Swan, 7+ RCPs like ginger balls of fire in the sunshine.
Close to 200 Pochard which is a throwback to the 90s.

Haven’t seen a Mistle Thrush since August!!! Have they just vanished completely?
I’ve been in suitable habitat in Northants and Bedfordshire and not a sniff.

Fairly confident Spotify has been ear wigging my conversation with my mates about the #Ashes just had ‘two tribes’ followed by ‘we are fucking fucked’ by Muse on the van stereo!!
Just waiting for ‘I don’t like cricket’ to come on next.
