Followed a 111-year-old map this afternoon to hunt down an ancient swallow-hole. Expected it to be long gone, but here it is, reflecting the sky the way it has, no doubt, for millennia. Gentle brook-trickle, modest pool, exhilarating find! Plus lapwings, hares & grey partridge.

Looking forward to a quiet evening reading while everyone else is out...

Volunteer session chopping scrub & hedgelaying. Blue sky was deceptive - as soon as the Kelly kettle came out, the heavens opened & we sloshed through the rest of the session. 💦

First trip for weeks that wasn't to hospital or doctors. Slow mooch across the reedbeds; stopped by an old oaky pal in the wet meadow. Smell of fox, mud, decaying vegetation, fetid pools made me feel real again. #mypatch

Heron comes a-hunting in my @guardian Country Diary today. Lovely to celebrate our rooftop visitor and the pleasure its visits bring us. Link in bio...

Henry VIII falls face-first in the fen and a lone heron stalks the rooftops in my Guardian Country Diary this morning... (link in bio)

If you're joining me from over on Twitter, hello! Thanks for looking me up 👋

It was my childhood dream to see a hoopoe & today I got to write about it in my Guardian Country Diary. This one’s for you, Dad xx
