Black And Gold

Gorgeous light this morning in the golden hour. This male blackbird is scoffing grapes. Lovely to see a goldcrest high up in the Christmas tree. It wasn't singing, "Dee-diddley, dee-diddley" but I could see the foliage twitching. (Extras)

Nice walk at Parndon this afternoon.  Gulls were bombing the ducks near the lock. (Extras)
