The Viking Way,Barnetby To Owmby,23.04.20.

Another superb forecast today,saw us walking from home again along the Viking Way up to Owmby and back.We really are blessed with a lovely section of this long distance path relatively close to home,the hamlets and villages really are special with some lovely scenery.
 No unusual sightings bird wise were recorded on todays walk,apart from a flock of Fieldfare hanging on,on the hillside paddocks above Kettleby with 10 birds being seen today.The commoner species and summer migrants are now getting down to the business of raising families and protecting their territories,with plenty of song.
 A superb non bird sighting today,went to two buck Muntjac watched chasing each other along the hillside near Bigby and are the first Trace has seen.
 A profusion of Butterflies were recorded today also and included some good numbers of Orange Tip and Speckled Wood.

What a superb walk today and thankfully we are still both healthy,long may it continue.
