St Totteringham’s Day
.
Bragging rights resume
North London is red and white
upwards and onwards

• St Totteringham’s day is the day of the football league season when it becomes mathematically impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to finish above Arsenal. Today is that day.
Waiting

I’m outside the door
if you’d care to take a look
it’s been a long time

Bedraggled, unloved
and surplus to requirements

I’ll be pushing up daisies

Red kite

A rare privilege
private viewing of a kill

• In the grounds of Peterborough cathedral I was lucky enough to witness a red kite making a kill, taking it to a perch and plucking it. I was alone and was unable to share the moment.
I happened to be in the company of a bird expert in the workshop I was running later on, and he identified the bird from the film I took and said that it was very unusual for red kites to kill prey as they are not designed for it and are carrion feeders, so this was a rare occurrence.

It just couldn’t last
