I was up at 2.00 a.m. this morning but that was due to a couple of tawny owls calling in the immediate area.
Sleeping with the windows open at the moment due to the weather, you’re a lot more connected with the nocturnal creatures than normally.
I woke naturally at 5.30 a.m. though and, after my first cup of tea of the day, I set off for the debut session of the new season.
I fished a small brook that, due to the prolonged dry spell that we currently find ourselves in, was even smaller than usual.
