Beautifully written, made me see things and feel things; thank you. I found myself curious at the use of the word "we," as to whether it's a literary way of referring to yourself without needing to use the word "I" over and over, or whether you were accompanied by one or more other parties? Thank you again for sharing your work with us!

Ah, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. Regular readers will know that I usually go for walks with my wife, Ceci, so that's why I'm using 'we'.

I read an article about the March wildfires up on Dartmoor, and the numerous fledglings it would have wiped out. It is terrifying to contemplate this new world we are moving into, isn’t it?

It was similar here in 2022, with fires hitting wildlife reserves on the coast, though that was later in the year, so less of an impact on ground nesting birds. The timing of the march fires in Dartmoor was just terrible.
