Coronavirus Lockdown

24 Mar - today severe restrictions were placed on travel by the Government, to try to slow the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic in the UK. One of the impositions, totally rightly in my opinion, allows us to leave home only for permitted exercise once daily. This will restrict me to cycling or walking to Blakehill and adjacent areas of CWP, so this spring will be unlike any other in that the focus on observing the unfolding spring migration will be on my local area. A unique opportunity, health and other commitments permitting, to focus on these local observations during the spring period, with visits most days to the same small areas - I'm fortunate to have such a variety of habitats and wildlife areas within local reach.
