Winkworth Arboretum.. just catching the Autumn colour..

Had a wander at Winkworth today.. some vivid colour but some trees almost bare of leaves already...

Not good light for pics today...

Saw a pair of Common Buzzards soaring high; a few Long-tailed Tits.. the occasional Blue Tit. and heard Nuthatches quite a few times... Robins about too.. and my first Redwing of the season.

The boathouse was under lock and key.. it's in urgent neat of repair and the Natinal Trust need in the region of £45,000 to undertake the work.

and a tasty fruity scone for lunch... approved by Mr Ponders
