Wednesday 23rd May

Today a Christian conservation group were holding an impromptu outdoor service in the abbey ruins. I was looking for birds nearby. Suddenly one of the group stood up in the middle of a hymn and started waving his arms up and down. I of course thought it was part of the prayer ritual. He then started looking through his telescope but not for a Godly vision - he had actually seen a Marsh Harrier flying over my head. I missed it. I may have to join in the prayers in future.
