Only my 2nd common whitethroat in our garden this morning. 1st was 5th August 2023. Clearly a good time of year to be looking out for them.

Also pleasing to see the refreshing Canadian approach to dogs and wildlife. If only UK conservation organisations were as robust in their approach to dogs and cats!

Very sad news the death of Marianne Fairhfull. Followed her since As Tears Go By, North Country Maid, Broken English, Give my Love to London and more. An Evening with Marianne at the V&A was an enlightening and amusing evening. Rest in peace.
