After the holiday in Yorkshire the rest of August was quiet. The weather was not great and the light was not particularly good for photography. We did manage a few days out, but not many.
September was a better month weather wise. We had a short break in Norfolk but this time we came down with awful head colds. Covid tests came back negative , thank goodness, but the colds lasted a good two weeks . However there is nothing like a peaceful afternoon in a bird hide at Wicken Fen to clear the head and mind and make you feel a whole lot better.
