After a very misty morning, it was nice to see the sun shining in the afternoon, so I decided to go for a stroll in the woods. Despite all of the leaves now being on the floor, there was still plenty of wildlife in the trees, including several Great Spotted Woodpeckers.
I saw some interesting behavior from this chap above. He would take the Beech mast while on the wing, then fly back to the tree trunk to crack it open! There seems to be a good crop of beech mast this year, this was one of several Red Squirrels seen making the most of it.
Other birds of note today included 100+ Hawfinches, 20+ Long-tailed tits, 40+ Blackbirds and at least 3 of these little Treecreepers.
(I decided to try black and white with this image. Believe me it looks a lot better like this, than in colour)
