#testvalley — Public Fediverse posts

Today's village fete, one of the last of the year (it's not Summer any more!) had egg throwing (and catching!) as the highlight. I missed out on the beer tent but made two trips to the BBQ stand and bought 6 jars of jam/chutney (mostly from a someone within walking distance of my house!).

Morning walk & birdwatch @ Fishlake Meadows, peak warbler season with whitethroat, garden & sedge warblers all in full throat. A hobby perched motionless in a dead poplar. The reed beds golden with yellow flag iris. Bees buzzing in the hawthorn & comfrey

Walked a section of the #TestWay near Romsey yesterday, everything looking fresh & green. Hawthorn & horse chestnut flowering everywhere, warblers singing from the hedges and riparian vegetation, swallows & martins darting & calling above the villages

Quick visit to #FishlakeMeadows in Romsey after work tonight, lots of singing warblers & 2 very active cuckoos calling & flying around. Large flock of screeching swifts hawking over the open water but no sign of osprey or hobby. Vegetation looking lush, air heavy with the scent of #hawthorn blossom
