Public transport routes and services change and are sometimes axed completely. I'll try to update any changes as soon as I find out about them. Where bus services have been cancelled or renamed I'll strike through the obsolete bus number to mark this change.

Local patch

I've neglected the local patch lately due to the weather so I nipped out for a wander round during the cricket lunch interval.

Typically quiet for this time of year though 105 feral pigeons flew overhead at one point. Plenty of thistledown in the fields but only a couple of dozen goldfinches. Just the one female blackcap eating blackberries and a brief glimpse of three whitethroats.

A juvenile great spotted woodpecker on one of the dead trees behind the school was a nice surprise.

And judging by this youngster it looks like the dunnocks have had a second brood.
