So, it has probably become pretty clear that I am a bit of a birder and to get a photo of a real Hoopoe in the ‘wild’ is crackers – thanks, Bro.
It is one of the first birds that I remember as a kid and thinking how completely weird the name was and how the look of it was so tropical and clearly from distant lands – this led to me learning more about birds.
A storm is brewing about the anticipated return to school of Reception, year 1 and year 6. The unions are saying this is dangerous and far too early.
This is inevitably leading to plenty of teacher bashing on social media from people who, as always, think we have an easy life.
The truth of the matter is that those people have (probably) either had enough of trying to home-school their own kids or simply had enough of being with their kids 24/7?
