Winter walks

After the promise of severe storms, which failed to materialise around here, but some overnight rain, the day dawned a bit windy but with bright blue sky. And so it was that we went on an early walk. Not much to see, just the odd rook taking a bath, whilst watched by a companion squawking support in the familiar inimitable fashion.
If you see one rook it's a crow, if you see two crows they are rooks. Well, I guess that makes it a rook then. Either way, it was enjoying a splash in the water collected by the fence from the day before.
And the blip? That's part of the route around, I like the way the branches show in silouette against the sky.
