Thursday 21st July (A Day of Rest)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window. Once again the sky was grey and threatened rain. But the Swifts were flying around as usual in large numbers. It seems to Mr. Kite that they are flying day and night. So today the family Apodidae and species Apus apus were on display for the bird-watcher to observe. Soon flock of Swifts will be heading to Africa so Mr. Kite will keep a note of when they disappear.

With more renovation to be completed Mr. Kite's bird-watching for the day will be very local; in the garden, in the sky above the garden and nearby. Now as the day progressed Mr. Kites bird-watching became less and less. Renovations, the tour and visitors conspired to curtail the best made plans.

So Mr. Kite eventually had a rest day and enjoyed a tipple of Becks. Cheers until the next time.
