Pevensey Levels

Cooden Probus club kindly invited me to speak yesterday, which was a great pleasure for me and I hope the members.  Afterwards there was time for a brief walk on the Pevensey Levels before the final dress rehearsal of Eugene Onegin at Glyndebourne, which was just wonderful.

The Levels are a very special place.  A solitary Lapwing gave a haunting Peewit call as we crossed the fields.
A heron glided past on the prevailing SW wind.

Mallards flew off, scared by our presence.

A tiny insect caught my eye in the grass.
