Chimney Sweep And Chimney Kestrel

A much better day today. Before lunch Ollie dog and I stood in the field scanning the hedge for wildlife feeling the apricity - the warmth of the sun in winter. As we returned to the house I spotted the male kestrel on the boiler house chimney again. (Extras)

After lunch I saw this chimney sweep sail by, as John Clare has it, and it perched in an oak against the sun. I like that one recognisable leaf has been retained.
