What a gift today on this bright cold morning - the sight of a Kingfisher fishing on the riverbank...

and a Heron gliding over the river...

With much clearing going on by volunteers and sheep, the magpies can be seen scavenging across the meadow and scrape at present...

and with leaves falling from the trees there is more chance of seeing the Tree Creeper going up the trunks of the trees round the carpark... but I actually spotted this one at nearby Croome Court yesterday ...
