Tuesday 27th March (Sunshine)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window onto frost covered grass and a clear blue sky. The dawn chorus had just finished but  two greater spotted woodpeckers clung to the trunk of a bare silver birch tree. Wood pigeons perched on the branches of trees as they warmed up in the sunshine.

Later in the morning Mr. Kite sat by the brook looking into they alder trees. A tiny goldcrest appeared and flitted around whilst a grey squirrel jumped from branch to branch. A noisy group of jackdaws flew overhead. Then a bobbing grey wagtail followed the course of the brook. This slate coloured bird with a yellow underneath then disappeared around a bend.

Following a lazy day Mr. Kite had a short trip along the cycle track where many other cyclists were enjoying the sunshine. In a marshy patch Mr. Kite stopped to watch two grey heron snack on frogs that allowed them to let down their guard in the late afternoon warmth. So Mr. Kite had another good day and had a tipple of Becks on the banks of a babbling brook. Cheers to another fabulous day.
