We have guests for dinner tonight, so unfortunately there will not be a Diary other than, the Glorious Twelfth was yesterday, I personally think it any thing other than glorious. On checking the dates of the start of the shooting season I came across the website below. I have not had chance to read it properly, maybe one or two of you may get chance to, and let me know how it reads, for it looks to me at a first glance that restrictions on the shooting season have been relaxed.

The Dove hatched at least one of its chicks yesterday, I managed to catch it head above the side of the nest.
