Very quiet again

24th June 15            morning                 mid section

sunny & warm, 13-17°c,  1019mb,  SW 6-8 mph,

A walk round with Ian but between us we couldn't conjure up anything notable. No sign of the young mallard at the Wetland pool even after a pair of mallard dropped in. The moorhen on the other hand still have 3 small chicks.

        Some selfish so and so has stolen a number of orchids from the Barleyfield, this not only denies others the pleasure of enjoying them but is also a crime.
