Sometimes there is a hawk perched in this tree so it’s always worth checking – not today though. Just admire the tree for its own sake.
A view that regular visitors here will recognise – along the hedgerow that leads to the bird banding station. Very deep snow on this occasion, even with snowshoes we were up to our knees in it.
Many years after its demise … helped along by woodpeckers
A bramble bush almost ready to drop its leaves – so much colour this year
The remnants of a pile of cut logs caught our eyes today. Looks very much as if the pile has been remodelled for gnomes with rows of moss and turf-roofed houses and lanes between them.
A week ago these trees were heavy with gloriously golden leaves. Last night the temperature dropped to -2C and this morning all the leaves are on the ground. There was ice in puddles. Snow can’t be far away.
