Being Overtaken . . .

By rats & starlings!

Can you count the rats in the feeder?

Starling in full voice!

Wet weather!

Male pheasant sunning himself in the hedge

Goldfinches still holding their own against the starlings!



And a moth - I seem to have mislaid my moth book so have no idea!

What a Difference a Day Makes!

Full sun & blue sky yesterday - after days upon days of heavy unrelenting cloud & drizzle, we get a glorious November sunny day! (ok today was back to the drizzle - but least us folk in Devon have seen the beauty of blue sky & bright sunshine!)



Blue skies galore!

See my shadow?

Ok we have a REALLY serious rat problem now - they're all over the garden & all over & under the bird feeders - they're such rascals too & are getting away with blue murder!

Though Mummy blackbird didn't seem too fussed about it!

Sparrow - unfortunately in shadow - but love how his underside lit up in the sun!

Glowing feet & look at those claws! Was he a cat in his previous life? lol

Sparrow camera shy - but lovely against the vivid blue sky

Buzzard - so hard to photograph - he/she was far away so not a very clear shot! :(

Blue tit enjoying the last rays of the golden sunshine of the day

Fieldfare from a great distance, they're very timid birds, so quite hard to get close to

Golden plovers demonstrating why they've been given that name! Catching the sunlight

Lovely golden sunshine which ran shadows across the land towards a glowing yellow field:

Some colour in the hedgerows - rose hips

Gorse - remember, when the gorse is in season, so is kissing!

Dock leaves in the evening sunshine & oak leaves lit up too

On my walk in the field where I saw a big flock of fieldfares & redwings, plus golden plovers

The last leaves on the oak trees in the woods - amazing how they've disappeared so fast!

Beginnings of yesterdays sunset

Same sunset - taken in dusk!

End to a perfect day really! :) x
