Office Life. 26 March.
Day at the office, shut down style. And what a great day it was, temperatures soaring to a balmy 12 C, bringing out the first several
Siberian Winter Damselflies of the spring, so too a
Yellow-legged Tortoiseshell and four
Brimstones, wonderful all. Displaying
Woodlarks and
Green Sandpipers, booming
Bittern,
Great White Egrets and
Grey Herons to the colony and, late afternoon, the return of the first
White Stork ...not bad for a day at the office
Coronavirus tally continues to climb, 299 cases in the country now, several cases in the military. Lithuanian government does a U-turn on the quarantine centres - after effectively creating virus factories the day before, now allows the quarantined persons to go home. Dimwits!
Office Life Mk II. 27 March.
Big
Buzzard day, a pretty constant trickle of them drifting north in warm sunny conditions. Big tick day too - no less than 48 of the little creepy crawlies crawling up my legs on an afternoon stroll! So there it was for the day, working much of the time, occasional pleasant distractions such as a pair of vocal
Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers, the early returnee
White Stork plodding around, my first
Common Snipe of the season.
Back in the real world, a fifth person in Lithuania died from Covid-19, tally of infected persons jumped by 59 to 358. Government pondered locking down Ukmerge town, decided against it for now.
