The Country Diary (27 May) captured perfectly the agonies and ecstasies of the thousands of people across the country following nesting ospreys, whether we watch on the ground or on webcams.

It is wonderful to watch ospreys at various locations online. I am following the Dyfi, Glaslyn and Brenig nests. Nature is amazing.

Further to the letter about Compton organs in Yorkshire (Letters, 23 May), over here on the other side of the Pennines, in the Stockport Plaza, our Compton organ not only plays to films but also to our stage productions, especially the pantomime, as we are one of the few functioning cinema and variety theatres in the UK. The organ also delights newcomers when it lowers into the space below stage level at the end of the performance.

John Robinson (Letters, 26 May) writes that the UK “is a democracy, and as such its rulers govern by the will of and for its people”. It does not feel like a democracy to me each morning as I collect the papers and look at the headlines of a largely rightwing press.

There is only one thing that I am more sick of hearing than “delivering for the British people” and that is “I am focused on delivering for the British people” (Letters, 25 May).
