20/04/18: Totteridge 4.34-miler

As I walked along Dollis Brook, there was a constant chorus of birdsong: they were clearly delighted at the change of seasons. Like yesterday, it was unusually warm – we seem to have skipped spring (after a long winter) and lurched straight into summer. The temperature was already into the twenties and it was still early. I saw joggers (perhaps preparing for this weekend’s London Marathon), a woman with an arm in a sling, and plenty of dog walkers. A walker with a German Shepherd dog wore a German Shepherd dog T-shirt. The abandoned car had finally been moved of the field, leaving a rectangle of lighter-coloured grass where it had stood. I saw blackbirds, crows, magpies, parakeets, pigeons and robins, but not the herons or grebes sometimes visible by the water. Miles walked: 4.34 Cats spotted: 0
