Time to start this year's thread of odds and sods (Last year's Odds & Sods HERE)
Today a large flock of 40 or so Redwings descended on the fields around our local parkland and although they were pretty skittish and distant I hard cropped a few pics for you ....
and a blue tit landed nearby !

My old favourite was a Ventile over head anorak that was almost bomb proof. When I first did a test on the trousers brought out by Rohan we thought they would never catch on,how wrong we were. I do feel very lucky in that while health problems have reduced my outdoor activities somewhat my obsession with upland birds does take me out into the hills

You can still get moleskin clothing, though I'm not so sure it is mole skin today.
Ventile is still being used by one seemingly online only outlet, but I need to see the jackets (which seem to have nicely decent sized pockets) before I buy.
