CV19 The daily record Saturday May 9th 2020.
It was an absolute scorcher, wall to wall sunshine a cracker of a day.
Today I took park in a lockdown bird watch survey. It was rather a bore as it was so hot not much about, however here is the list.
Blue Tit
Wood Pigeon
Jackdaw
Starling
Red Kite
Blackbird
Robin
Buzzard
House Martin.
The other thing w did was note the planes coming in. Now this was interesting. We didn’t count them all but here is the ones we caught.
Shanghai 4
Wuhan
Doha 3
Peking 3
Berlin
Toulouse
Abu Dhabi
Amsterdam
Hong Kong
Korea (air cargo)
Rome
Johannesburg
A flight from Chicago to Luxembourg flew over too.
The stay Inn was open as usual on a Saturday and I can report that the beer gardens were open accordingly.
The baby Blue tits continue to grow although we cannot see how many are in the nest. They have downy covered bodies and some pinfeathers are showing through. The width and yellowness of their gape gives them a demented clown like appearance.
Sea Bream, crushed Cornish potatoes, creamed leeks and green beans for dinner.
Other things of note,
Little Richard died. He was 87.
Matt Hancock and the PN are having a bust up over PPE shortages.
The Coronavirus slogan is changing from . Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save Lives to. Stay Alert. Control the Virus. Save Lives.
There is to be a new Covid alert system put in place. Ranking from Green level 1 to Red level 5.
Global cases rise to over 4 million.
The Daily mail reports that 90% of the British public do not want restrictions lifted.
the raft of funny clips and jokes om socila media has all but dried up.

I'm glad you are picking out the main points to note each day. I am not really looking at the news in depth as it is so unrelentingly gloomy. I see the main headlines though and decide if I want to delve deeper.
