Serenading me as I worked in the garden today, so lovely to hear.

Thought I would be giving an account of wild swimming in the River Gipping earlier when I tripped on something, ran (involuntarily) down the bank and stopped just as my upper body was almost leaning into the water.   Luna was most concerned and spent the rest of the afternoon keeping very close to me, bless her.

I was upset to see the Spotted Woodpecker doing the rounds of all the nesting boxes, pecking furiously at the openings, I suppose to get to the young chicks inside.   Thank goodness they are new and well made so he wasn't successful, this time.
