205 years ago today the Royal Navy saved the world from Napoleonic tyranny in one of the great turning points in history. While the French were far from beaten, after Trafalgar they had lost the chance to win. To Nelson and all who served under you; I remember.
This week so far has seen a couple of sightings of the big grey Grey Seal, plus Kingfishers three times and 2 Common Sand upstream today [That's 55 on the Work List now! :) ]. Interestingly, there's been a strange absence of Cormorants - until 4 flew upriver together this afternoon [No chance of IDing them to race]. Derek the Dane continues to hang about and yark disreputably, and the 3-way Wagtail Wars rage unabated!
We also had a mammal tick in the form of a Rabbit on the opposite river bank [??] and yesterday a great big whirlybird - a Chinook over low! Set off all the car alarms...
