Singing

After a morning of admin. I needed some fresh air and exercise, so it was a walk up to the Common in the afternoon. Far too nice to stay indoors anyway!

Lots of dog walkers around, and nice to chat for a while with Sheila, who refills the bird feeders. Spent quite a while "chatting" with this bold little fledgling too - it was a real performer and got up to all sorts of antics (extra) before singing its beautiful song!

Pleased to see a female mallard on the pond with her brood of nine ducklings. And a red squirrel on one of the feeders.

After dark the temperature plummeted, so we sat in front of the fire to watch a film this evening, with a glass or two of red. It's Friday!
