Our thanks goes to Liz for such an enjoyable afternoon and also to Jane for her help in making all the arrangements.
Alison and I had decided to arrive early on the day and took the opportunity to take a short walk before our meeting started, the highlight of which was not just hearing the wonderful Nightingale song, but actually being able to see and photograph one.
A small number of photographs are attached, which also includes one taken in our garden of a Sparrowhawk that decided to take shelter from the strong winds recently.
It seemed quite content to remain there for almost 45 minutes, quietly observing, until 'dinner flew by', when it shot off in hot pursuit!
