Random stuff that doesn't fly

Autumn is a such great time for colours in the countryside so I'm not surprised I got a bit carried away on my last visit. Wel at least plants stay still.

Hawthorn is the most common hedgerow trees in the area - this one along Lynesykes Lane is typical of this time of year. In another month Blackbirds will be all over them!



Here are some Sloe berries, from another locally common hedgerow tree. These aren't so popular with the birds but everything has its value.



Not many Grey Squirrels are resident in the area and they can be devilishly hard to locate but the woods around Harpham and Lowthorpe do hold a few.



Ha! Not even plants or animals now... a massive piece of cheese instead!



Ok, we've had the moon, how about some landscapes. This was the view west from Harpham Moor on Saturday evening about half an hour before sunset. The whole sky went a weird pinky-orange, not the greatest conditions for birdwatching but a pretty picture no less.


And this was the last gasp of the sunset over Harpham village and the Wolds in the distance. Behold the orangey goodness.
