wood mouse A WOOD MOUSE is out on the patio mid-morning. It pauses then starts to climb the Honeysuckle stems.

kestrel A Kestrel perches, slightly hunched, on a power line pole.

long-tailed tit Some 18 Long-tailed Tits, and the odd Blue Tit, feed in the Hawthorns by Lady Ann's Bridge.

unidentified mushroom A mist in the valley comes and goes in the space of an hour. The watery light brings out the remaining accents of colour in an increasingly bare, wintery landscape. The falling leaves of a spreading Horse Chestnut in the park lie beneath it in a circle of gold. In this increasingly colourless world, a wash of palest lilac on a mushroom amongst the grasses seems almost to glow.
