thrush – The Bald Birder

Day 320

Wednesday 03 February I think I have mentioned before that I have learned much about myself whilst compiling this blog each day over the past year (well, nearly a year). It’s mostly down to the fact that at the end of each day, I do exactly what I am doing right now. Taking time toContinue reading “Day 320”

Day 289

Sunday 03 January It has been a largely bleak day weather-wise. Cold drizzle, freshening breeze from the northeast and only a dash of sunshine first thing this morning. The fall out of the past 48 hours, and the government’s incapability to make firm decisions continued today. Some staff, parents and pupils are nervous to return.Continue reading “Day 289”

Day 287

Friday 01 JanuaryNew Year’s Day Last night, midnight passed with me in a reasonably optimistic mood. I didn’t nod off or have bad thoughts, and so I can look forward to a promising year ahead. Certainly if the predictions of Wakenhyrst are to be believed. We did our traditional New Year’s Day walk from StuttonContinue reading “Day 287”

But I have found this very difficult, constantly recieving news on the growing CoronavirusContinue reading “Day 285”

Day 82

Wednesday 10 June So, first a correction to Day 81. It was a Song Thrush not a Blackbird. I couldn’t see the bird clearly, and although I was pretty sure it was a thrush I couldn’t be certain. That’s quite embarrassing. Maybe, my growing fondness for Blackbirds means I am becoming obsessed with them andContinue reading “Day 82”

Day 81

Tuesday 09 June Today the government have done an about turn on their ‘ambitions’ for all primary pupils to return to school this summer. It was the number one story on the radio when we some this morning but is far from a surprise. To safely follow social distancing guidance, schools would need to beContinue reading “Day 81”
