Tuesday 9th August (England Burns and the Swifts have Flown)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window to see that the sky was grey the fires of the inner cities had not reached the Shires.The Swifts have flown to those warm lands of Africa.

Mr. Kite looked for Swifts but did not see one; so the Swifts have flown. During the afternoon Mr. Kite and His Lady took a stroll over the English Bridge just as a Peregrine Falcon flew above the river and cleared the bridge by about ten feet. As the falcon powerfully flew towards the bridge it's bold black and white head pattern was clear and the bird was focused on following the river.

Mr. Kite returned home to have a Tetley tea. Cheers.
