Easy-Peasy





Peter was checking the rear brake on his Vespa.  Not a difficult job, apart from squeezing the wheel between the hub and the bodywork.  Nevertheless, there was no swearing.

Busman's Holiday







After a trip to the Thriplow Tip, I took Ann to Duxford to see the new DAS museum in the Hermes fuselage.  We took some pix in Air Space and Hangar 2 and checked out 'my' Trident, which smelled musty but dry.  The tail was removed from the Herald, which now looks very sad.

Cheese and Onion Pasty . . . and Birds






 Ann's RPS Nature Days are usually wet, and today was no exception.  We were meeting at 8 am at Wicken Fen, and just before that, it came down stair-rods for fifteen minutes.  After that it was clear.  We'd just left the car park when we saw a female Hen Harrier.  Not seen one of those for a few years now.  Five of us installed ourselves in the West Mere Hide, and about 9.30 we had another sighting of a Ringtail - top pic.  I had a good Little Grebe from Charlie's hide and a Muntjak from West Mere.
