No Cycling today!

Today's Cycling for Health maintenance session has been cancelled - the instructor who usually takes the class is away in Birmingham on a cardiac related educational course.
So today I've been sorting out the container and doing a few running repairs on one of the duets - wheelchair bike. Whilst doing this, I noticed that we have a pair of Sparrowhawks nesting on one of the mobile phone aerials. Slightly distracted by the coming and goings of the parent birds and the noise of the youngsters - I watched for a while as they took it in turns to feed them.
Such skillful birds on the wing and a poor unsuspecting pigeon became brunch for the family!
What a sight - certainly made my day, well that and my usual cycle ride in!
