    Hard first cuckoo in the valley yesterday, and the swallows and martins are definately here now, more arriving all the time.

    A couple of my favourite waders seen this afternoon near Jacob's ladder in Sidmouth: purple sandpiper and turnstone. Also a rock pipit

    Sunday.

    Running just past the Curmudgeon's house in Glusburn spotted 4 Heron in a field. Then two minutes later another heron in a field.

    Went running the other day and spotted 2 heron in different places in the middle of Skipton.

    Flip, need a cull soon

    Having said that they were so still they might well have been plastic!

    Anyway I'm expecting a delivery of pigeon spikes in the next couple of days... and once installed on the chimney pot above the bedroom ~I should get a full nights sleep.

    If not come round and cull him/her!

    Went canoeing on Derwent Water the other day and saw Sandpiper, Goosanders and Mergansers. Also went up Dodd Wood to see the Ospreys, got treated to a fantastic fly past and display for a good couple of minutes, also saw female on nest (...very blurry and a long way off!!).
