Bev is slowly, but surely, getting over her back problems and the company of Bruno is certainly having a positive impact upon her anxiety issues. I'd not been able to get out with the rods, since he arrived, but today Bev felt confident enough to allow me to get a morning session down on the Royal Military Canal. It was great to be back on the bank, yet the Pike hadn't read the same script and I blanked. I did have a wonderful encounter with a Barn Owl which flew straight over my swim, at first light, headed towards a roost site My previous morning walks, with Bruno, have enabled me to do a fair bit of local birding and the camera kit has provided further evidence of the massive advances in digital image capture technology.

I'm now sat at my laptop, listening to the Real Madrid vs Man City game and have seen the first Hedgehog of February. The last one, seen at the feeding bowl, was on 5th January prior to the cold snap and associated sequence of storms.
