Waiting for her beau

Wisp came “into season” this morning

Characterised by bleating and lifting up her tail and being generally agitated. There is just a 12 hour window to capitalise on this so we made contact with local goalkeepers and took Wisp over to meet their Billy Goat at midday.

They seemed to like each other

We will know three weeks from now whether or not she has “taken” or “returned”.

Back home and getting out of the Land Rover

The Wednesday walk – a threesome of Me, Myself and I!

Some are shielding, one is unwell and our baby mascot fell asleep on her mother’s lap

It was, nevertheless, a sociable stroll as I stopped at a friend’s gate to give her some eggs. We had a socially distanced al fresco chin wag before I resumed the walk. A few minutes later I stopped for another chat with C and her dogs

My feet were getting cold so I set off again and spied a kestrel in flight

Then daughter called and I walked and chatted to her as I took a different route at the side of a field. Probably not a designated footpath but I kept to the edge and didn’t trample on anybcrops. Back over a tiny stream

into the country park snd back to the car and home. A lovely walk with Me, Myself and I.

Fieldfare or Redwing?

The winter visitors have arrived from Scandinavia, the winter thrushes. They are most welcome (but a bit camera shy)

My guess is Fieldfare but I will await confirmation from my friend across the road

The goats are looking very sweet today.
