Blackford Hill

Up very early today and out for a walk to Blackford Hill before 6am - a lot of surface water about but it was actually a nice sunny morning.  We started off by walking past the pond and saw the swans and the cygnets in the exact same place as last time!!!  Also a lot of ducks about and plenty of bunnies on the grass at the pond side.  No sign of a kingfisher today so we took the path round the hill to a short but steep climb to the summit and once there we were greeted with the sight of swifts and swallows soaring over the hill.  Also spotted a buzzard flying high over the hill looking for prey no doubt.
