TOP BIRD

Here's a violent, aggressive, highly territorial little robin celebrating its election as Britain's national bird - hmmmm…

A wonderful day walking at Malham Cove and Tarn and then driving home via the Ribblehead Viaduct and other wonderful landscapes.

The extras are a very grainy pic of a peregrine falcon having a rest after feeding its rather large and greedy offspring, and a triffid-like thistle which seems to have some virus or other malady which made it look rather sinister.
