Chimney

This was the best part of the day, weatherwise. It had been grey and dampish all day but a last glimmer brought some variety to the sky, highlighting the different cloud forms.

The worst part of the day was just a little earlier when, taking Mother home after her evening meal, I found my lovely juvenile woodpecker on her path DEAD!
I think it may have flown into the glass of the window. I cradled it in my hands, wishing for warmth and energy to flow into its body though I knew it was dead.

I have so loved seeing the woodpeckers coming to the garden this year, I hope the adults stay safe and bring their young back next summer.
