A very handsome Great Tit uses the Christmas tree as a perch while queuing for the feeder.

I’m having a break from swimming since I hurt my back 3 weeks ago but I did manage a longer walk at Harewood today, with a lunch at Muddy boots cafe then the slow walk back to Wike Lane. Alice B. spotted a deer in the undergrowth, which has grown high and lush. There is a lot of Balasm.
