Locked in a concrete jungle, very concerned for the countryside.

Nice to see tonight's starling murmuration. Not often I get the chance to savour the show
Also good to catch up with @knsc.bsky.social & @msseri.bsky.social tonight

A pre Xmas venture to Baddesley Clinton, a mediaeval moated house, with a very interesting history.
Owned and lived in by Catholic ancestry, a refuge for Jesuit priests, priest holes where priests hid from persecution, now owned by the @nationaltrust.org.uk in the @midsandeastnt.bsky.social area.

Yesterday's sunrise (Sunday 14th Dec), red sky in the morning, shepherds warning.
Well, today, wet and dismal, the forecast for the next few days here isn't looking too different....
As originally said, it is almost winter.

An interesting male goosander.
Check the bulge at the front of the throat.
My guess, something eaten he can't swallow. He does keep trying to dislodge something.
