Not Much

 Dubious about travelling by train due to the weather, but did so . Saw a huge flock of birds in the sky twisting and turning. SW abandoned nest in the bare trees. Apart from that nothing much happened

Feisty

 Got a really feisty squirrel, it chases the cats away and the cats do run! 

The water leak is an added bonus to the birds who are making the most of it , having a bath and drinking from it . 

Look out! Low flying magpies and crows! One magpie nearly hit the window then later a crow flew low in front of a bus .

Early Morning

 The early morning moon twinkled in the sky like if someone spilled a pot of multi glitter on it . Warm coral clouds wrapped up in grey clouds greeted the dawn. The resident robin singing away in his secret hideaway. The tall sweet chestnut tree hugging the street lamp giving a eerie glow.

Twinkling

 The greyest grey day so far was brighten by having coffee outside the cafe watching the last leaves falling gently with Christmas lights twinkling in the background.

Back

 Up late due to oversleeping but to a bright sunny morning. Birds and squirrel still enjoying the peanuts. The seagulls are now back . Close your eyes and you think that you are by the sea with their noises they make

Rather Nice

 Sweeping up dead leaves day , still soggy , but at least it was bright and sunny. Birds enjoying the red and orange berries that have sprung up out of nowhere. 

A huge dandelion growing in a garden pot, looks rather nice.

Not A Bright Day

 A dank miserable cold day, the last remaining leaves cling on the branches not wanting to fall. Birds are going home to roost . The leaves that have fallen lost their crunch , now  they are soggy and slippery. A bit of blue sky tries to poke through the grey clouds but the clouds are having none of it and are covering it up fast .

Patch

 A pale orange glow greeted the morning then out of nowhere a blue patch appeared. Squirrel and birds enjoying the peanuts.

Late afternoon/Early Evening

 A lone bird sitting on a telegraph wire , maybe looking at at the stunning sunset. A early fox scouring the field for something to eat. A definite chill in the air but not a frosty chill more of a damp chill. .

Returned

 The magpies have returned to their chimney pot . They are pulling up moss to make their nest most cosy. Dull weather and high winds again . Not even a chink of blue sky just grey low clouds.

Elastic

 A cloud stretched like an huge piece of elastic ready to snap. A metal bird flying underneath it. The squirrel doing acrobats like a pro it is in the trees.

Boring Morning

 Cold damp grey morning. Not seen the squirrel today. Nor have seen any cats . Birds are busy . Now the wind has got up.

Frost

 A bright frosty morning making a change from the rain. The sweet chestnut tree is shedding its leaves so quickly that it’s nearly bare. A carpet of leaves cover the path tinged with a bit of frost highlighting the autumn colours of the leaves.
