One dear friend points out the patch of sunlight (refracted through champagne in a plastic glass on top of a trig point) she wants in the picture I'm about to take during a birthday remembrance moment for another much loved friend.
It was a beautiful day.
Harboro Rocks, Derbyshire, UK.

This is what we should be doing for #Swifts! Not blocking up their ancestral nests!
FFS! 😡 Anger as #swifts’ nesting holes in #Derbyshire rail #viaduct ‘blocked up’
Campaigners say birds could die trying to access ancestral nests that were sealed during rail refurbishment

"Network Rail began work on the refurbishment of the 160-year-old viaducts last summer while swifts were nesting. An ecological report, commissioned by Network Rail and not required by law, found no evidence of nesting swifts.
"This claim was challenged by swift watchers, who assembled 38 pieces of evidence they said showed at least nine nest sites on the viaducts. Network Rail later accepted there were swift holes and said it had worked around the nesting birds.
"British Transport Police’s wildlife crime team was investigating whether nesting birds may have been disturbed, after the refurbishment work was reported to the police by campaigners last summer."
