Once again Queensbury was blanked out by the dreaded fog this morning and just as the sun started to burn its way through the fog got even thicker and the day stayed misty until late afternoon, one of the hazards of living at the top of the hill.
A bright evening followed but I was grounded, decorating the bathroom, no sense of priorities these women.
When I eventually escaped to go dog walking a few Swallows were over Foxhill heading >S and the jackdaw roost were racing >N to get a good position for the night.
A single Kestrel hovered over the fields which was a pleasing sight as we now seem to get more Sparrowhawk sightings than Kestrels.
How these nights are drawing in, 2000hrs and almost dark, 6 months of dark evenings, what an awful thought..yuk
Now Ive cheered you all up I,ll go.
