Sun 27th Oct 19

It's amazing what a bit of sunshine can do, 4 Red Admirals & 1 Adder making the most of the warmth this morning.

A short walk round late morning gave 3 Goldcrest, 1 Firecrest, 2 Song Thrush and a Green Woodpecker around the car park bushes, still lots of Blackbirds. The pair of Stonechat were on the mounds.

Slightly better than previous photo
