Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Tasty!
A few wildlife highlights to report:
Pied flycatcher in the garden over the last few days. The male looks particularly splendid. I announced "piecatcher" at one point to Mrs Noel - followed by a short conversation about what that would look like.
We were on holiday in Greece over easter and saw a few tortoises - all alive, crossing the road. Both Hermann's and marginated (I think).
Sentinel Swallow still sadly solitary

A billy no mates swallow. I'm sure another will arrive eventually, there's a few about here when the sun is shining.
Ears open for cuckoo now.
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
We encountered a piecatcher on a holiday in Devon. It's a variety of seagull that swoops down and grabs your pie before you have had a chance to eat it. [Actually it wasn't a pie, it was my wife's Cornish pasty. I suppose you shouldn't be eating Cornish pasties in Devon.]
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

Yes, not a pasty, when made in Devon. That would more correctly be called a 'pastiche'... an item of pastry, such as a pie, that intentionally copies the style of someone else's regional, signature, savour dish.
