Good Morning Early Birds!
158 Answers
Tuesday. It's only just stopped raining, so no walkies this morning. Tiggy and foxy were both in and out a bit sharpish.
The charter yesterday went well. A WI group, all completely mad! Much laughter was had by all.
On the way back from Purton I was informed by radio that one of the bridge keepers had been taken ill, so one keeper was looking after two bridges. That meant a delay of nearly half an hour while he came up after letting us through the first bridge, then getting into his car and going to the next one.
There was plenty of wildlife on the canal. A pair of small birds were chasing about keeping with us for a while. I'd never seen them before, not had my crewman, so neither of us knew what make they were. They were a joy to watch, so fast and manoeuvrable, doing wingtip turns and zooming about like a pair of WWII fighters dogfighting. It was impossible to see them clearly enough to identify.
The spadger catcher has just settled on the telegraph pole. He's had his breakfast by the look of it. Such a beautiful, efficient hunter.
A day off, well, sort of, today. Just some paper work to finish. Another charter tomorrow.
have a happy day everyone.
