Not a bad morning

I had just done a couple of videos of the bird table, when the male Blackbird arrived for the photo shoot so he had a photo taken

Windy & Cool

Took all the decorations off the tree for this year, we will put them away till next year.

 The sky was on fire with the rising sun

 Our home is beyond the trees on the skyline

 This was a sad moment, one of the ancient Beech in Burgh Wood lost a large limb, it does not look good for this tree. 

I wonder how many generations of children have swung across the gully from that limb, there was always a rope dangling from it.

 

 This part of the wood has been neglected and needs a bit of restoration

Large patch of Opposite Leaved Golden-Saxifrage - Chrysosplenium oppositifolium looking really healthy

Some thing to make us smile - people come to see our Kingfisher

and he rarely disappoints
