I looked out of the kitchen window yesterday morning, and saw - a rabbit! This was a huge surprise as our garden is enclosed by a six-foot wall, so goodness knows how it got in.
It ranged over the whole garden, nibbling at everything. It came close to the house and at one point jumped up against the patio door as though trying to get in. Aargh! Beseiged by a killer baby bunny!
Greger coaxed me out for a walk in the evening and we went to Dorney Wetlands. There had been a huge hatching of Mayflies, and swifts were flying incredibly low to hoover them up. Four common terns were also feeding on them. A "swoosh" of wings advertised a flock of at least 150 starlings lifting from the bushes. The EW flood held a pair of redshanks with one, possibly two, wary chicks. But the common flood has once again dried up.
