Fork in the path

This morning we went on a local RSPB birdwatching walk around Alresford. The terrain is quite varied and we walked by the  River Arle,  watercress beds, arable  farmland, Alresford  Pond, and an extensive newish vineyard, on lanes and footpaths. We saw and heard a fair number of species  including a Marsh Harrier over reedbeds by  the pond and a flock of Redwings and Fieldfares, but sadly not as many birds as we used to see. 

In the afternoon we drove on to Farnham to meet up for tea with some  Livery Company friends at the  old Bush Hotel. 

We were back too late to catch the  new David  Attenborough  programme  about wildlife in the British Isles, so will have to watch that later.
