Heathrow Airport has stopped all domestic flights. The roads are chaotic. Last night, football matches were cancelled in the North West. It seems that we're shrouded in fog everywhere. Everywhere but here, that is. And that's just plain weird. The normal order of things is that we're shrouded in mists while everywhere else gets the blue skies. I'm not complaining though. We've had a beautiful sunny day, clear blue skies and the distinctive bite of oncoming winter.
Above the fog line. You can see the thick mist rolling in the distance below.
A lone rook
The starlings were very active today
Starling in flight
Sunset over the Downs
And as for the foxes, well tonight it was the younger male who showed up. He's dominated the recent photos but I did manage one special shot of him tonight. He was hanging around on in the flower bed near the fence, and I got that sense of certainty that he was going to jump. So for once I was able to focus before the movement. Here's the result.
