At last the leaves are falling

and we can see all the things we missed in summertime.
Those things that sit on branches at least.
I prefer winter to summer for clear, sunny days like these.




what you get when you point the lens skyward.
A blue tit, busy with a seed by the look of it.
In the scented sanctuary area by the river.




one of a busy group of long tailed tits, same place as the blue tits.
Blue tits & long tailed tits are often found together, on a good day, goldcrest may be present too.
Keep looking.




A fleeting view of the sparrowhawk, hunting hard all the time I was on site.
One of a pair seen at distance.




Returning (we assume) for another winter, the little grebes.




There is a third little grebe present. he may be one this year's chicks.
He seems to stay on his own.
