The stunning goldcrest is so tiny it weighs just five grams – about the same as a 20p coin!

Lunch time!
In colder months, a time when foliage is thin and the females are pregnant, the deer in Studley Royal need a bit of help, so the wonderful ranger team head out to feed them each day.
They've now learned what the tractor means and here they are, lining up and excited for some turnips!

It's Stir Up Sunday!
A tradition that dates back hundreds of years, many households stir a sweet plum pudding on the Sunday before Advent. Silver charms often added including coins, a ring to foretell a marriage, a horseshoe for luck and a thimble for a life of blessedness.
Do you still do this?
