@markkilner Saw a wheatear during a weekend walk on the North Wessex Downs - it followed us for a good 100 yards along a fence and seemed fascinated by the whirring of my mate's camera. I'll send you a pic when he's download them.

Widerstandsnest 7, Utah Beach, guarded the planned landing zone for the 4th US Infantry Division on 6th June 1944 - strong currents pushed the eventual American landings further to the south: an artillery casemate and Tobruk weapons pit

The churchyard in Scampton contains many WW2 RAF burials from the nearby station plus, in a separate plot, those lost in the postwar era. These include Flt Lt David Adam, killed with two other crew when their Canberra crashed during a training sortie in 1991.

Very interesting day spent visiting aviation sites in Lincolnshire including the memorials in Woodhall Spa to those in 617 "Dambusters" Squadron killed in WW2 and in subsequent conflicts.
