10th November..... Brambling.

Luckily I was late as again is my way, otherwise Stewart would have missed this stunning male Brambling as it made a fleeting visit to his garden feeder.

This being the highlight of our Sunday morning, which saw us checking up on HS2 as they continue ravaging the environment, a nice mature hedgerow has vanished, though the stumps still remain, maybe to regrow in the future... who knows, the massive wood chipper type thing that was photographed parked up at South Heath just after daybreak last week, sits waiting for action.
Moved onto Weston Turville Reservoir, nothing of note here, drove out into Aylesbury Vale, came across this Chinese Water Deer easily recognizable with it's large Teddy Bear like ears.
