Botanic Gardens

Exactly two weeks since my last visit and things have changed dramatically. The red-leaved trees are bare, and the dragonflies are finished. Mistletoe now obvious in the taller trees, in one of which a Mistle Thrush was perched. About thirty Redwings went over as well as a female Sparrowhawk.

From the train, a pale Buzzard was seen perched on a fencepost near Hauxton.
