Happy Twixmas!
We hope that you had as good a Christmas as we've had here with the family. It's tradition that the cake design is by our sons on the spur of the moment. This year we have Clangers!
We've enjoyed walks on the hills, in mist and with sunsets.

Another great early morning to be out on the #MalvernHills with spectacular views across a fogbound #Worcestershire.
Icing on the cake was finding this female Snow Bunting at the summit of Worcestershire Beacon although it didn't appear to hang around for long.

The views from the #MalvernHills were spectacular early this morning, unlike the birding.
In fact, the whole of October has been extremely quiet.
Despite multiple visits each week, the best bird was a Wheatear. Yes, just one.

Absolutely. I used to walk on the #MalvernHills in the evening, but stopped due to dangerous use of mountain bikes, often on narrow, steep, paths where they are not permitted, using lamps so intense that they are easily visible from Worcester, 10 miles away.

A tree full of House Martins!
As they prepare for the long journey south, this flock were busy picking tasty morsels from a tree on the #MalvernHills here in #Worcestershire.
