Sometimes I just sits and thinks…

And sometimes  I just sit.
This curlew, which was carved in the Lake District, and featured in another garden for many years, was the Bird of the Day. I rescued it, cleaned it, and now it flies in ours. Reading a book by Simon Barnes called The Year of Sitting Dangerously. It is a lockdown nature journal, a record of what he saw sitting in his garden every day. Living on the edge of a nature reserve in Norfolk, he saw curlews.
Now we will see one.

‘Rules of the bottomless sit. Keep still. Don’t get up. Never look at your phone. Make notes. Research later.Let nature set the agenda.’

‘Buy yourself a pair of waterproof trousers. They will change your life.’
