How is your recovery from Long Covid going, Noel? Any improvement?
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

White Hall Wiggle isn't on the FRA fixture list, so doesn't count.

Thanks for asking. I'm still getting better but it's very slow progress - it's been nearly 2 years now. It's a lot better than it was, and I can do most things that don't require sustained effort. I can walk about 5 miles, albeit slowly up the hills.
I'm hoping I might be able to jog at some point next year...
Cuckoo today.
The end is nigh
My solitary swallow still solitary. Alone for 27 days so far
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Amazing. We have 3 or 4 here, plus the arrival of the house martins a week or two ago.
I was wondering if your solitary swallow will be waiting for its partner to arrive and whether it will find another if he/she doesn't arrive. Here's an article on it: https://www.avcr.cz/en/news-archive/...%20is%20common.
Like a lot of small birds, there's plenty of scandal in swallow love lives.
Thanks for that Noel.
My single swallow now has friends. This morning I noticed that 5 others have arrived.

Aerial battle seen from my bedroom window earlier today. Our local buzzard had found a thermal and had started circling upward, when a smaller bird, a crow I think, came flying straight at it. The crow continued harassing the buzzard until the latter flew off to find somewhere more peaceful.

Going downhill fast
On last nights RATRun we were running up a grassy field with a convex slope and into the wind when we could see just lots of pairs of ears ahead. As we got closer the heads and necks of a 20 strong herd of deer appeared. We got to within 25yds of them at which point they got up as one and fled into Hay Wood.
Ten minutes later, on running up the two fields at the back of the Grouse, we were treated to a magnificent flying display by a Barn Owl. It was quartering the fields around 10/12 feet above the ground. It seemed oblivious to our presence as it passed in front and behind us a number of times as close as 30 yards away.
I think it must be a regular event as there were half a dozen twitchers armed with binoculars in a nearby gateway.
Isn't wildlife BRILLIANT!
