Walk to Wallingford.
Mar 9, 2013

Overcast, 6º, little wind, progressively getting colder with a chance of snow next week! Roll on spring!

Took a walk to Wallingford again this afternoon along the “Bunk line” was not expecting much and was surprised to find a Stonechat along the fence line by the railway near Cholsey SF.
Three ♂Great-spotted Woodpecker in a dispute in the tall trees by the SF and two Mistle Thrush and several Pied Wagtail feeding there.

Six Lapwing in a nearby field, a few Meadow Pipit and Skylark present also, I could also see a large flock of Gulls, Lapwing and Golden Plover in the distance over the Moreton floods, presumably put up by something or someone. Quite a few Magpie around with a group seven seen.
Two singing Goldcrestin the Winterbrook area and a few House Sparrow present also two Nuthatchin the trees on the Cholsey side of Bradford Brook where it enters the Thames.

The garden has been busy again today, the two Song Thrush, two Blackcap, two Mallard, two Stock Dove and two Moorhen (all twos) amongst the other regular visitors and a couple of Magpie seen in the meadow.

Sunny spells, showers, 15º, fresh SW. Very blowy on Lollingdon hill today and not much around, a few Red Kite and a single Kestrel on the hill but I would think most of the small stuff was sheltering from the rather strong wind, two Grey...

Rain, 16º, light winds I had a meeting this morning and on my way home I was passing Lollingdon hill so I thought I would drop in for a brief visit as it was only a fine drizzle but still enough to get wet though. I had got about 100m a...

I finally heard  back from that agent who had a full submission of mine for six months. I nudged her twice before getting her reply. She didn't say the work wasn't for her, but said,  "I am not the best agent for this..." A new way of ...

I mentioned last week that there were still a couple of chunky submissions out there...well, heard back from one. She was under the impression she had already told me she was declining the opportunity of representing me. Believe me, if such an email ...

It is murder to hunt down an animal.  Only cowards would do this to build up their ego.  Leave the animal familys alone-let them live in peace.  NRA?  Too many guns now and why should they be used for torture?  If hunters are ...
