Forever Autumn Part 2

 The oak trees seem to be hanging on to their leaves this year, or do they always do that? Can't say I've ever noticed in previous years. Lots of autumn colour still around, even though a lot of it is on the ground now.

Autumn has brought the winter thrushes to us again. Fieldfares, Redwings and a scattering of Song Thrushes are now brightening the hedgerows as they go looking for food.

The beach here at Hornsea isn't particularly productive for birds at any time of year. Through winter we get a few Sanderling and Turnstones, then every now and then a nice bird pops up - like this Purple Sandpiper this afternoon.
