Watching

We had intended to go away in the caravan this weekend just to get away from it all but, yesterday evening, decided that we just need to catch up with ourselves after a very busy week.

So it was a normal Friday evening - off to Alnwick for some shopping. But first a walk by the lakes at Branton. As we walked there was a commotion in the trees ahead. Not a large bird as we first thought, but this beautiful red squirrel launching itself from a hazel tree on to the next tree, from where it scampered on to this silver birch. We'd probably disturbed it while it was eating!
