Monday 13th 55-66F, overcast. Another grey day is forecast. A longer walk today. An hour and a half up and down dale. Through knee high grass and waist high brambles. Those years of training at The Ministry of Silly Walks pays off when you need to travel the overgrown woods and unkempt tracks. I expect the North Koreans would excel in the bramble, goose-stepping Olympics.I saw four deer, two hares, two pheasants, lots of birds of prey, a heron and several hundred juvenile ducks. I climbed up to the forest and on through the beech woods. Around the fields full of untidy crops. Past the marsh. Where there was not a single adult duck to be seen. While a whole raft of young mallards pottered around in a brown, relaxed convoy. To congregate on the other side of the pond in a massed flotilla while they decided if I was a megalomaniac. Just when I thought I'd seen them all, a new group left the undergrowth on the bank nearest me and wandered off to the far shore. Why don't hunters use telephoto lenses and camera instead of guns?
A short ride before lunch to photograph the water birds on the small lake.
The only good news on CO2, in decades, is that spreading rock dust on the soil will absorb billions of tons of CO2. The rock dust is a waste product of mining and building work. Spreading it on agricultural land needs no new technology and will also improve the soil. Leading to greater crop yields.
No doubt the 1% are already buying up mining waste tips to ensure a fat, tax-free profit from their offshore monopoly on supply. Expect armed farmers holding violent protests right around the globe. Because they are not being rewarded enough to save the world from the 1%.
