Mayfly time

At this time of year the Itchen Valley is full of mayflies - as is the town on warm evenings.  It is also half-smothered in fluffy poplar seeds which float on the breeze like snowflakes.  On my late afternoon walk I caught this sparrow sitting in some elder down by the canal catching mayflies for his family.  It was nice to see him, they are so few these days.

Apart from that my day was made up of 'must-dos' that included taking my old gent on his monthly outing.  And the sun shone, which made me happy.

Thursday evening.  Can't believe we're nearly at another weekend already.  But I'm not complaining ;)

Have a good one  xx
