Kind: Notes
short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Read: Joe Country by Mick Herron ★★★★☆ 📚
Still amusing and engaging, but maybe lacking the surprise of earlier ones in the series.
Read: Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver ★★★★☆ 📚
Maybe too many important issues for the one book & some “too good to be true” characters but I was thoroughly engaged.
My wife said listen to the grasshopper, I can’t hear them, but heard this. so I opened my phone and the Merlin app: Common Grasshopper warbler. No sight of it.
Lots of orange tips butterflies. Plenty of bird song, D saw a weasel. Warm afternoon.

I’ve been generating a bit of text for example sites recently and this text has the same smell I get from ChatGPT and co-pilot.
A little prep today for Reveil 2024
The Reveil broadcast will again make a full loop of the earth over the Dawn Chorus Day weekend in May this year.
I’ll be streaming from Victoria Park from 4:40 UK time on Sunday 5 May.
Walk to Greenside: First Orange Tip Butterfly this year. A couple of peacocks too. Singing: cuckoo, willow warblers & chiffchaff, goldfinches. Lots of primroses in damp places.
Walking with Christine & Michael, up Troisgeach and over to Meall an Fhudair. The first cuckoo & lizards of the year. No deer or ravens, and eagle or two. Ptarmigan & Wheatear. Surprisingly dry underfoot and the lack of growth made for easier walking. walkmap
Read: Kindred by Octavia E. Butler ★★★☆☆ 📚
Another Octavia E. Butler and again I felt it might be a young adult book. The slavery was a lot less horrific than say The Book of Night Women. The time travelling characters didn’t seem too put out by suddenly being pulled into the past. Still story jogged along.
