I had the text yesterday, which was just after i got in from a bike ride. Then the letter this morning.
With regards to day to day life and the current situation, is bird watching a ‘necessity’???
There are a lot of questions in here about people trying to justify doing what they want to do rather than what, arguably, they should be doing.
Open your front door and go for a walk, if you are driving somewhere, like those plonks at the parks last weekend, to go for a walk, then I’d suggest, you’ve gone too far

Can we all be chipped and if GPS shows we've been playing games and we got ill and get to hospital. They can be quickly wheeled out the back door. Sadly we can't NHS staff are doing to pay a expensive price for stupidly. Behind every Doctor , Nurse, we have a family, Husband , wife , son, daughter , bother , sister , friend. We can do without this not knowing if they won't come home. They can't stay home and safe. we can but even that's asking too much. Well it's not really what's asking too much is for them to give a fig about you.

Pen Ponds cafe on Saturday...Words fail me
Edit: No they don't. this is an example of cyclists descending from the high moral ground into the gutter.

The mentality of some of the British. A colleague of mine whose daughter has been babysitting for someone who has had contact with someone who has had contact with a group who have tested positive wrote:
I made the grave error of looking at some comments on the Daily Mail website a few weeks back. There are some commenters there who I would best describe as deranged. Nothing to do with politics, the phrasing and apparent mindset is shocking.
I've fired a salvo at the deranged (good word that) currently doing the conspiracy it's all hyped up deliberately spread by China or Putin's Russia etc etc on Hitchens' latest column under the comments. He's right to query the govt awarding itself extra powers with little democratic scrutiny, but wrong to make this an issue with the pandemic as the background.

Scheiss. Merde.
As expected, but grim nonetheless.

It saddens me how in normal times, birding is such an incredibly car dependent activity. Birders often spoil some of the more remote parts of the fen hereabouts, leaving large numbers of vehicles in dumb places- blocking farm gates etc and making narrow lanes a pain to cycle on. I've never driven anywhere to see birds and never will. If any good is to come out of this then maybe now some of them will find birding interest on their doorstep, perhaps as a part of a short daily walk. I've just taken a 15 minute stroll around the village and had a 10 species list by the end incl. Sprawk and mistle thrush - it can be done!

touch screens don't usually work with gloved hands. I discovered this at a self service till last week.

Interestingly, today I cycled past someone near the airport perimeter fence with what looked like a fancy directional microphone and audio recording set up, seemingly recording birdsong. Normally everything would be drowned out by constant jet engine noise there.
Obviously I didn't feel able to stop and chat, but "Birdsong Buffs" is one group who must be having a field day. Hmmm, note to self, did notice last year another spot on the fence where skylarks nest inside the perimeter. Might be quite stunning to listen to now.
Yes I know point being it's why gloves are not a good idea at mass protection measure.
