Fieldfare

A fieldfare on the highest twig of a hawthorn. I was looking for bramblings but no a bit early yet.

I went this afternoon to my 'happy place', not expecting at all to see owls but just to be there and see what was around.

Driving round the lanes I met Friday night traffic -  no scrub that, people leaving from work early traffic which I hadn't bargained for in the narrow countryside lanes. Stopping and banging the lens out of the window were not an option - well they were but .... I feel gestures like that were really  totally uncalled for. 

The dogs are calling me to something moving outside. The lights aren't on and the fox treats aren't out so I have to get a wriggle on.
