Close of play approaches, and the scoring rates are nudging up , just.
Last night's bat survey produced a single swallow, looking a bit vacant. An hour plus, yet almost nothing.
Two overs this morning. The first drew a blank, then a house martin twittered into view. One hour later, and a deluge. 4 house martins, and two swallows. Then a whole series of dot balls.
So, what to make of it. The analogy has been stretched thin, but it does indicate that everything is low, As for swifts, even their redoubt at the far end of town seems to be failing. The days of 30-40 or more spiralling into the evening void may be folk memory soon. Balls. |
