Oh what a beautiful morning!

Two pleasant mornings in a row? I could get used to this. It was so lovely I just had to stop on the way to work and take a pic of these glorious foxgloves for the Joys of July post below. While I was out of the car a lapwing called to me, circling overhead. Probably worried I was a bit too close to its nest, but it was lovely to hear and see this rare, endangered bird on the wing. They're doing well again in the Staffordshire Moorlands and the first chicks to hatch at the Roaches have been reported which is great news.
