10 years ago today I was told after 21 years I was being made redundant, after 41 years in my trade my then manager made it feel as if it was my fault I was be made redundant due to my questions about working practices.
Today after my swan talk a lady said I was brilliant, I needed that.

It was a very wet day at WWT Welney today, but it didn’t stop 13 hardy souls attending the Hare walk, they were rewarded with 6 sightings of hares.
Pintail numbers are climbing with about 80+ seen although I think there could be more.
I managed to get a couple of photos in the dry periods.

I just ordered my Christmas beer, it’s too early to think about putting up decorations but never too early to order your Christmas beer.

I realised I didn’t post any pictures from My volunteering day at WWT Welney on Tuesday, it was a bit quiet at first visitor wise but still picked up around lunchtime,
we had a steady flow there on.
Tree sparrows are thin on the ground at the moment, but we’ll see what happens this week.

🥶 snap.

Starmer should get on the phone to that Orange Numpty on the other side of the Atlantic and tell him to back off from the BBC or we will stick Wind Turbines on his Golf Course in Scotland.
