View from my deckchair in the garden today
Very hot day, too hot for me. The highlight of the day was seeing my first Swifts – two of them, flying over the garden in the afternoon and almost simultaneously two Mute Swans also flew over! I have also had the pleasure of watching a cute baby Robin hopping around by my patio door, too close for a picture even! The usual garden birds are enjoying the feeding station – a Song Thrush made a brief appearance today. I have to change all the birds ponds daily, as the Starlings enjoy them a bit too much and they are such messy feeders! Had to listen to crappy music that someone was playing nearby – why don't people have their headphones in and then the rest of us don't have to suffer!
I could hear a CONTINUOUS stream of traffic along Wootton Road as I sat in my garden! They were not all going to a supermarket, work, picking up medical supplies or assisting a vulnerable person, were they?!!! The traffic noise should be the same volume over a seven day period – why would it be any different at weekends?! If only those selfish people were made to wear PPE all day, maybe, just maybe they would think again! I have heard first hand so much today, about what is going in Norfolk – more second home owners arrived this weekend who also come and go as they please back and forth to London, holidaymakers arriving in cottages (shame on the owners too), traffic parked up along the coast with day trippers and selfish birders driving way beyond their local area! Heacham was packed with sunbathers and people having barbecues and not social distancing either, a friend on FB told me, who lives in Heacham. Campervans at various places all along the coast road and staying overnight. May you all hang your heads in shame! Us NHS workers are more than happy to carry on suffering with heat exhaustion wearing PPE all day, every day for weeks on end and dying for you, not! Because people are not following the lockdown, Covid-19 will carry on killing us, our loved ones, our friends, our work colleagues.

We are having a 'birds seen on walk' lockdown competition up here in my Chilterns village... so I walked 4 miles Tuesday to see... a rook!
