Good Luck for everyone taking part in the Daffodils Sportive today. A bit misty in Helmsley at the moment, but should clear during the morning.

It's a misty Friday morning, but that's not stopping the birds in the garden. Thanks to the wonderful Merlin Bird ID app, we've identified 14 birds just in a few minutes recording. Answers on a postcard! No, we'll save you the stamp. We've heard House Sparrow, Great Tit, Dunnock, Robin, Song Thrush, Woodpigeon, Blackcap, Collared Dove, Jackdaw, Rook, Chiff Chaff, Goldcrest, Goldfinch and last but not least, and often the loudest, the mighty Wren.

If you've got a couple of years free, time to start planning. You'll also need big postcards to fit the name on!

The King Charles coastal path will allow walkers right of access to the entire coast for the first time.
