Sunday 31st July (A Trip along Country Lanes)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window. The yellow buds of the lime trees were beginning to carpet the ground. Summer was now more than one month old but autumn was on the horizon. Swifts still screeched across the sky.

At nine o'clock Mr. Kite set off on The Beast to watch birds. To cut a long story short it was a very quiet day. But Mr. Kite cycled past Bayston Hill, Condover, Ryton, along the back of The Lawley and then to Acton Burnell returning via Venus Pool.

More than thirty species were spotted. Mr. Kite returned home for a few bottles of "Old Speckled Hen". Cheers
