In this episode I take a look at the small wild in my weekly diary from the 18th to the 24th July, 2022.

This week, the heatwave hits and we reach temperatures of over 41 degrees Celsius. The world becomes bleached and pale; flint becomes too hot to hold and everything waits until night to come out. A visit to Lackford lakes brings the wonder of Marsh Harriers and a wild wind, finally gives way to the lightest of rains.
