Start of my week.

Today, 40% of the world's bird species are in decline https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/23/one-in-eight-birds-is-threatened-with-extinction-global-study-finds
this report highlights it and it was reported on as an after thought at the end of the Today Programme on BBC radio 4 this morning. The main culprit, agriculture, the world is eating itself or rather people are eating the world, if there is a god it's having a laugh.

I also heard Van Morrison on the radio this morning he's having a laugh too.

I need to get 150 miles in on my bike this week, CarTen is coming up, I'll be having a laugh and walking like John Wayne with full saddlebags.

Davy Spillane Atlantic Bridge, worth listening to.

Newport, Parrog, the river Nevern, bluebells, wood anemones, celandines and the swallows are back.
