The air remains full of large flocks of Fieldfares. Their constant movement is like the phases of an elaborate country dance. They add interest to a season deprived of the birdsong that appeals so much in Spring, but you wonder what is the purpose of all this energy sapping activity. Occasionally several birds sit out a session perhaps unable to find suitable partners or unhappy with those who have offered.
The wall at the Stony Ridge car park has been repaired surprisingly efficiently within a day by SWT - minus a length of coping stones that had been filched.
It's a pity it took so long to get round to it but this is well done so let's hope it shows a commitment to doing these bread and butter tasks well. There remain several sad looking examples of poor work during the last few years which should be put out of their misery, one of which is the bench below Lenny Hill. The lack of symmetry between the two supporting columns makes me feel uncomfortable each time I see it.
