Spent a most enjoyable few hours at the 1000 acre Rushall Farm, Bradfield. But wet underfoot but the bluebell spectacle was the best I have ever seen. Bluebells as far as the eye could see in the most beautiful woodland. Once out of the woodland the views over the chilterns on such a clear sunny day was just superb. Loved it. With my love of farming I spent considerable time studying the 700 year old barn and other farm buildings.

Back home I relaxed in the hide for a couple of hours, surprised to see the flowers sprouting, didn't happen last year. Better than a vase of flowers!
Probably nothing very interesting but a white curtain has appeared in a hedgehog box, not there yesterday but am aware spiders are quick workers, will check out with my new toy (Meerkam) tomorrow. Mice still in the woodstack but have now made another entrance, shown up on the hide monitor.
Have seen birds chase one another during the mating but have never witnessed a full blown sexual encounter as I did from the hide with a pair of blackbirds. I was actually somewhat amazed, won't describe detail but did think one never stops learning about wildlife.
