Another day, another flock of birds!

This afternoon we went to Westonbirt in the afternoon sunshine (I promised myself that i would trade this time and work this evening, but now a full tummy and a glass of wine have sapped my resolve somewhat - even though tomorrow is the deadline for something I promised!).  On the way we tok a detour round the Badminton estate - and it must have been playtime for pheasants - we saw 30  - 40 of them crossing all along one stretch of road.  Pity they've been bred just to be shot by toffs...

After an ominous start to the day:-

the afternoon and trees were glorious:-

On the way home we were treated to this spectacular sunset.  Beats sitting in front of a computer all afternoon on a day like this!
