At the first break in the clouds...

... I was off to Harlow Carr this morning, sitting on a bench waiting for the birds visit one of their favourite spots to be photographed.

I liked this robin with a hint of autumnal colour behind, with the coal tit (see the extra) making regular fleeting appearances. I think all the birds assume that someone sitting on the bench will have little food morsels to offer.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments etc. for yesterday's blip.
