I didn't think it was anything rare I just couldn't tell what it was (and that is REALLY annoying lol), and merlin and google didn't know either
Weather was belting, it had rained all night, but the forecast had said sunny and still, and was correct

I might need to get lawn mower out for last time ...canny be arsed....already cut back loads of trees, and all the berries infront of summerhouse and cleaned out the larger pond last week.....but hey ho.....looking forward to some brambling, waxwing and winter thrush visiting
A nice group of golden plover PB, not seen any very close this year. The few blades of grass that survived the summer in our garden would be quicker cut with shears. We have a large selection of young wild flowers growing though
