I love a Northern Harrier and the full sweeping glide of them over the marsh. Unusual, for me, to see them on posts. They were all ethereal in the ripples of heat, the distortion from the wind, the sharpness of the light.

Yeah, comes from my background in technical editing jobs, re documentation. I find publishers don't do a great job of writing down the results of such meetings and sometimes actually appreciate a bullet point list from me of decisions made, which can become a checklist.
