I went for another walk on the moor. Saw a lark, two curlews (or the same curlew twice) a walker in the distance and two cross-country cyclists wearing lycra and helmets who came bounding cheerfully down the track. It was VERY windy. Part of the 30 Days Wild Challenge is to be consciously aware of the weather. This afternoon we had hail followed by heavy rain. Couldn't miss it!

Have been thinking a lot.
Shattered!
That's all for today.
Hope you are all having good days too. (Despite everything.)
Interesting Link
My phone doesn't accept apps. In case yours does . . . I came across this for identifying birds by their song. Chirpomatic. Has anyone tried it?

What a splendid Aquilegia, far too fancy to be given the old country name of Granny Bonnets! My brother has a birdsong app which seems to be pretty good (by which I mean it usually agrees with my guesses!), it often gives a list of two or three possibilities but it can usually be whittled down by other factors such as habitat, time of year etc.
Hello John. Yes. This aquilegia has a very 'cultivated' atmosphere compared with the (beautiful) traditional sort. Wondering if you might ask your brother which app he uses for birdsong. If it's different from the one I've put here I'll add a link in the post to that one too.
Lovely blooms, we have both thr wild and cultivated varieties in the garden.
Very pretty...
Such a stunning bloom. Never seen one before.
The curlew and lark sound fascinating.
The cyclists make me dream of getting on the saddle and pedalling through nature. :)
Thank you.
Hello Linda. I like aquilegia in all its forms.
Hello Mike. It is pretty, isn't it.
Hello Natasha. I hope you will be able to go cycling soon.
Aquilegias are prolific self-seeders. xx
