June 8th, 2024 in 1376 marked the death of Edward Plantagenet (of Woodstock), who died aged 45 exactly 649 years ago. Being one of the famous and ruthless actors in the Hundred Years War and the only Prince of Wales who didn't become king, he was laid to rest in Canterbury Cathedral where his surcoat, helmet, shield, and gauntlets are still preserved.

Some years ago I visited Canterbury to participate in the history preserved at Canterbury Cathedral.

Here's a baby wrybill spotted, and filmed, on the Ashley River by Canterbury birder Steve Attwood. Wrybills are specialists of NZ's braided rivers, with a beak bent sideways to reach invertebrates hiding under rocks. Baby wrybills are more like fluffy grey river rocks, except when they move.

(Steve has all manner of excellent bird encounters to explore on his #Flickr account.)
