The weather has been gloomy today, but my walk to work was brightened by two splashes of yellow. Firstly, the leaves of the field maples, which turn to a lovely buttery yellow, and secondly, some siskins, which were mixed up with goldfinches.
I bumped into Dennis, one of our great team of volunteers. His morning had been brightened by three views of a bittern at Holywell Lake.
Will the starlings give a sparkling end to the day?
