5.07am (ish)

I have changed my plan slightly, taking a photo at the time of sunrise had been meaning no sun so from now on it'll be about 10 minutes later and add you can see from one of the extras the sun has made an appearance.

An absolute treat awaited me at the skeleton tree, a Red Kite was sitting in it and there were 3 others in adjacent trees.

It would be so special if they nested nearby!

New tyres fitted to the van first thing then normal worked commenced and I had to include a photo of the new alliums, they are looking perfect.

Currently sitting on my step doing this with The Plough overhead and candles on the tiles, almost a perfect night.
