An evening run today. Weather was dry and fairly warm. 8 mile run down White Fen Drove. Started out quick with a time to the Lode Mill checkpoint of just 15'55" (a new record). A headwind along Fen Road used up a lot of my energy, but managed to finish in a good time of 1 hour 05'52" (my second best time).

Several House Martins in Station Road. 2 Kingfishers seen 1 at the pond in Quy and 1 along Bottisham Lode. A green Woodpecker heard in the horse fields at the start of Quy Water and 2 seen on the way back along the bridleway. 6 Partridges at the entrance to the crane farm. 4 Skylarks over the barley fields. 3 Greenfinches at the end of the bridleway.




The spindly old oaks along the bridleway.


















The end of the bridleway, where it joins Station Road.
