In fact it was the driving forces of the Hammersmith and Barnes Peregrine Assoc whom I met in the churchyard abd who told me about the Leg o'Mutton.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-15785342402359419202021-05-21T14:51:23.544+01:002021-05-21T14:51:23.544+01:00Thank you for sharing this with us.

I do recommend it as an annual experience, but you need to make a proper excursion of it, pack flasks of tea and /or coffee and something to eat. Then the weather needs to behave and the sun guaranteed to be visible in its rising...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-63648094211764130002021-05-19T21:57:32.283+01:002021-05-19T21:57:32.283+01:00Thank you for taking me along with you.

I can oblige with much better shots of a green woodpecker my next Kew chronicle.
