Starting with a first for me ... Sparrowhawk in neighbour's garden here in quarry, only ever seen a seemingly lost youngster many years ago!
Grabbed ID vid footage through d/glazed door, then battery died & by time I'd replaced it to go outside for better res a delivery driver stopped next door & frightened the bird off!! grrrrrr
Hope it's a one-off for the sake of my Spadger horde!

Lot to learn
Same with us up here. The vast majority of folks are fine but as you say, I think that just because they are wearing a mask then the 2m rule goes out the window! It is a very scary and worrying time for us all and it looks as if it is here for a very long time to come. As long as we keep washing and cleaning those hands, keeping our 2m distance, wearing our masks and being sensible, we know we are doing our bit. Keep safe all.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Unfortunately, with the Great British public, this is sometimes a very rare commodity
Cracking pics PB, good to see you're still getting out with the camera, even if it is the garden...

As I said not much to see but was sooooooo good to get out and it was a nice walk.
There was plenty there to see, and nice pics Linda.

There seems to be a plethora of mini outbreaks, predominantly from businesses. We've a couple around here, that have been contained.
Scary and frustrating it is, I think there will be many more between now and the end of the year, hopefully, containment will keep it reasonably under control.
Like you, I'm reluctant to go out, and all the reserves I used to visit, are no-go places for me, because many places social distancing is not an option, face covering or not. Many face coverings I feel are worse than chocolate teapots, the material is too thin to stop anything.
