Back to a dull grey early morning, with the thick grey clouds completely covering the sky. However a little light was provided as two Jays swept across, flashing the white rumps and blue wings markings.
The ground is very muddy and slippery at present, and there are many Roe Deer slots showing in the mud, while going through a hedgerow the slender footmarks of a Fox were visible.
Huddled in the Blackthorn scrub were a few Bullfinches, a wonderful bright pink flashing through the twigs as they moved. Nearby a Blackbird was also spotted, this one with a bright yellow beak while another was sporting its dull black beak.
Down the hedgerow some of the branches of Dogwood were showing off their red colouration, and perched in them were a few Goldcrests, the high pitched calling heard as I approached, and after a bit of searching these tiny birds were seen.
A flock of Starlings were flying amongst the Hereford cattle which are about to be moved to begin their winter grazing of the Lighthouse Field – so please make sure you close all the gates.
The small round dull pink berries of Japanese Spindle visible and a couple of Robins and Wrens perched within these bushes.
Along the coast a group of Linnets were flitting, landing occasionally on the Gorse (some of these bushes are covered in yellow flowers).
A single Wild Parsnip is in full bloom, its tiny yellow flowers adding a flash of colour, while alongside the dead upright stems of Teasel, capped with the prickly head!
Some of the Blackthorn is encrusted with a variety of Lichen, ranging from orange, green and grey
