Our first proper winter for several years is upon us. The safest view is from inside:

Outside it’s pretty stark:

Rooks keep an eye on things:

While blackbirds nibble:

The larger animals are on the move, looking for food:


Or just cuddling:

And splashes of colour stand out even more:

Are those monkeys in that tree?
Raccoons!
Ah, of course. I’ve seen these in Oregon.
Where did you find these ones?
Snoozing away in the local wood. 🙂 They get impressively high in the trees!
I didn’t know you got them in Europe!
