Tuesday 5th June (Plenty of Bird Song)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a lightening sky. A scop'sowl was desperately calling for a friend. A nightingale sat in a low bush singing.

In the morning Mr. Kite had a trip along a road to Banos deValearados stopping on the way to watch more wodlarks, northern wheatears, booted eagles, griffon vultures and crested larks. On a church in Banos de Valearados a pair of white storks 'smackered' for a godd half hour. Their loud clackig of beaks could be heard all over the town.

Mr. Kite returned slowly down a quiet road and into Villanvea de Gumiel where cetti's warblers called from the banks a of a trickle of water that was once a river.

Following a warm day cycling Mr. Kite enjoyed a tipple of Ambar 1900. Cheers from a place where the Romans had left their mark.
