Bit of a lost day, slept in and had a lovely lazy breakfast of raspberries and porridge. The day fogged in and for most of the afternoon the visibility was no more than a few […]
Day Thirteen
The number thirteen has lived up to its history – a very good day for me. In short, otters. Otters, otters, and more otters. And I got to handle a bird of prey, a Bengal […]
