Pigeonswick Loop.

I had planned a little ride for today, my day off. However, the weather had other ideas.
So I rode up to Cartwright Road, locked my bicycle to a lamp-post and walked my local loop, past the Pigeonswick sawmill.

It was extremely muddy, aided by a posse of Landrovers that, as part of a shooting party, had passed through earlier.

I saw very few birds as it was quite late in the day. I did manage to see goldcrest, treecreeper and three marsh tits in larger, mixed groups of tits.
I also managed some nice photos:

Cambridge and Around.

Yesterday I took a train to Cambridge and had a little ride around the villages south of the city.
I then rode into the centre to change my library books.

Library books?  Cambridge?

Yes, I am a member of Cambridgeshire library service because it has a much larger stock list than Hertfordshire (at least the books in which I am interested).

Anyway I had a pleasant ride except for one encounter with a mad bitch in a Peugeot who, as well as being completely psychotic,  honestly believed that, because she was signalling, had a perfect right to turn left over me.

Motorists are ignorant, arrogant scum.

Actually, that's (probably) just a minority. But I am not going to waste my time trying to classify each one I meet. Nor am I going to put my health or life at risk by giving any of them the benefit of the doubt.

Are these bicycles abandoned? Can I take one?
