Redshank...

Some of the bird hides in the nature reserves I’ve visited looked cosy enough to live in. And here's a house in Essex, overlooking the saltmarshes, which takes its inspiration from bird hides… and some of the military ‘sea forts’ in the vicinity. The house - called ‘Redshank’ - is up on red-painted stilts, to keep it safe from even the highest tide.

I’ll no doubt catch the France v Iceland match this evening, as we reach the sharp end of the competition. It’s still just possible that Wales could face Iceland in the final: a prospect as unlikely as Leicester winning the Premier League…
