A walk round Contención Island Day 28 Wednesday December 2nd

Posted on December 2, 2020 by martin.p.eccles

Wednesday December 2nd, 09:28 – 09:31

308.6o to 321.4o

Wind SW 3 (gusting 5), T 7C (feels like 4C), 75% cloud cover

Crows and pigeons stand watch
sentinels in the tree tops
postman nods hello

“that’ll be int’restin”
blares the man at his phone
as he wheels his bike

A walk round Contención Island Day 27 Tuesday December 1st

Posted on December 1, 2020 by martin.p.eccles

Tuesday December 1st, 10:53 – 10:56

192.9o to 250.7o

Wind W 2 (gusting 4), T 3C (feels like 0C), 37% cloud cover

Walking through rank grass
I’m wet from mid-calf down
morning dew still heavy

One lark’s rise is joined
by two       two more    a quintet
they circle away
