Monday 11th May
We picked Norma up at 9.10 and drove to Irthlingborough. We parked near St Peter’s church (free), and met Kate and Maureen.
We took the path through the churchyard and down the greenway track to the Rushden Lakes shopping centre for coffee. We took the same route back(just over 5 miles in all today)
Quite a few water birds, tufted ducks, swans, coots and mallards. There was a cuckoo calling more consistently and closer than we’ve heard so far this year. Also song thrushes, blackbirds, robins.
It rained a bit from time to time, but was perfectly walkable, though the wind was chilly at the start.
