On my walk along the river path to Stowmarket, hundreds of damsel flies and dragon flies. It was a sight I shall not forget in a hurry, I felt as though I had stepped into the scene of a wonderful fairy tale. I also some some Highland cattle and lots of bunnies. There was a moment of tense, nervous anxiety as I walked through a field full of cows, they are naturally inquisitive and they were intrigued by myself and the three dogs. I wasn't too happy to have at least 30 of them behind me, 10 to the side and another 5 or 6 at the front. It meant I ended up covered in cow pooh, the farmer watched from his door, his arms folded and a scowl upon his face. This is the farmer who last year put a bull in the field and has since been told by the council he is not allowed to do this as the public footpath runs through his field. He blocked in the styles and has made life very uncomfortable for us walkers.
2.5 hours on my feet, the dogs are exhausted and are sleeping soundly.
Saw a heron fishing on the river and the sound of hundreds of starling overhead.
