Crimes and misdemeanours…

I am bored by Donald Trump’s antics, even as I am fascinated by them. The world seemed to stand still yesterday while he flew from Mar-a-Lago to New York, sat in a courtroom to plead “not guilty” to the 34 charges he faces, and flew back to Mar-a-Lago again. I don’t expect he will spend a single night in jail, for his many crimes and misdemeanours, but I live in hope.

Great crested grebe...

Had a couple of hours this morning at North Cave Wetlands. Saw the last of the winter visitors – a flock of noisy fieldfares - and the first of the summer visitors: chiffchaffs and at least fifty sand martins swooping down over the water. Highlights: a male goldeneye and a great crested grebe, both in immaculate breeding plumage.
