Leeches

We went for another walk in the royal on the weekend but did not have much time as we had to do some tilling in the bathroom. Therefore we chose to do the forest loop walk, which is at one end of the lady carrington drive. I have done it a few other times and do remember there being a few leeches on previous occasions but not as bad as it was this weekend. Still although I got about 20 on my shoes they were not quick enough to draw blood, although they were successful with my walking companion. On the other hand I did manage to get bitten between the shoulder blades by a bull ant.

Wandering in the Royal

Sunday was hot and I was sporting a headache so we decided to go for a walk along lady Carrington drive. The birds and reptiles were out in abundance and a light coloured goshawk even flew over but did not linger long enough for me to confirm the identity.
