Song Thrush
Lockdown continues as does my early morning permitted exercise walk with Symphony. I have to say that I do feel guilty, having a superb local patch and walk of c4miles and even though I do not see anyone, I feel I must keep going and not spend time searching out wildlife. As a result, I'm sure that I'm missing out on a lot. Indeed, spring seems to be passing me by! I am very lucky though and I feel sad for those who are restricted by this horrid virus.
My walk often throws up surprises such as this Barn Owl, suddenly appearing in a local field, albeit distant and in poor light.
Also, in these challenging times, it is often the common or expected birds that offer up joy and brightness.
Blue Tit
Wren
Even the overlooked Carrion Crow can look dapper!
Days can be brightened by the abundant spring flowers such as Primroses
Red Campion is beginning to flower. One of the delights of Bempton and Buckton Cliffs is the sight of pure white seabirds against profuse Red Campion flowers (particularly Gannets). I wonder if lockdown will be lifted in order to enjoy this spectacle this year?

Please, stay safe but try to enjoy nature!
Oh! I've developed a horrid blister on my left heel. Bugger!
