Replied to My Instagram Problem (bavatuesdays)
Hi, my name is bava, and I have an Instagram problem.  I never planned to get on Instagram, and I was even less inclined to enjoy it. But 616 posts and 18 months later I’m realizing I am…

Saw a small flock of lapwings today. I’ve not seen many peewit recently. I use to see lots when I was young. Other things that seem to be less common: brown hares, house sparrows large flocks of starlings and even rabbits. I see a lot more foxes and roe deer now.
