Within walking distance from home we have a woodland area. I was delighted on Saturday’s excursion to capture this image of a treecreeper, so named due to their behaviour of scaling a tree starting at the bottom and jerkily working their way up. Their colouring is so well camouflaged that it is only the movement that catches the eye.
We are permitted to leave the house once each day for exercise. There is no time limit, but there can only be one outing. The outing has to be local, which is a little subjective. Fines have been issued to people driving over 5 miles. Taking a flask of tea has been interpreted by some police forces as an intention to have a picnic – not permitted. There has been quite a media blitz to gain public support for the lockdown.
The rollout of the vaccine continues. At present about 10% of the UK population have received the jab. But it’s still going to take a few months before the current restrictions are lifted.
