Running round in circles

I had to work this morning so DH nobly volunteered to do a little light shopping. Then in the afternoon I went up to the allotment to dump the kitchen compost and refill the bird feeder.

Neither of us had been up here since the last heavy snowfall, but there seemed to have been a fair amount of non-human activity. So before I walked up to the compost bin I took a photo of some of the many crisscrossing tracks. The larger ones are from the fox, I think - but I don't know who that was who came out from the shelter of the back border, across a bed, turned in a couple of circles and went back again.

Meanwhile, the birds had emptied the feeder completely and finished both of Dave's fat balls. So I put up a couple of new ones. ;-)
