For some reason I was drawn to this tree and on close inspection of this hole I found a huddle of harlequins!
I have never seen this and I know a lot of people get them in corners of their homes.
These poor sheep were huddling together in the snow but one of the sheep was not bothered and kept chewing
Rectory Wood Park near Cranfield has a whole load of these plants (called Teasels, I think) which are obviously good at attracting Goldfinches as there were loads of them twittering away.
Not quite sure how they're managing it with such sparse vegetation on this plant!!

At exactly the same time, on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day a flock of Mallard ducks landed in our garden at sunset to feast upon corn & sunflower seeds. There have never been more than three Mallards during spring, summer, or fall, and never any during previous winters, so this was quite astonishing!
The sky turned blue and the wind dropped in time for the murmuration today so I thought I'd go and capture a few shots. No sooner did I get on the boardwalk when a sudden gale force wind hit me and the rain fell yet again. The poor little starlings huddled in their thousands on a roof but a blast from a high wind blew them all away.

Making a last cruise along the Blue Ridge Parkway after a day of shooting at Doughton Park last Saturday, the plan was to find a suitable composition for sunset photography. There was a problem, however. Smoke from the raging wildfires out west has become evident here in the east. An overwhelming pall had affected the sky, as well as the nose. So, photography shifted to highlight that.
I saw these ladies in tow along a fence as I drove by. It might have made a great image, though they huddled up when I approached for a vantage point, perhaps seeing me as a threat. Likely, the pervading smoke already had them on edge… they looked like linebackers protecting the quarterback. The “linebacker” closest to me gave every indication that she was going to rush me. I do have experience with cattle. An Angus cow once charged me as I was helping to load her onto a trailer. Gravity didn’t seem nearly as clingy in that moment as I managed to jump well clear of her, dropping a bag of silage in the process. That half-ton plus lump of bovine muscle went from seething killer maniac to ‘Let’s just enjoy a little snack break’ in an instant. In this moment, the fence between me and miss linebacker appeared as of little consequences, yet she eased up when I spoke gently to her as I managed a few shots of them. Their somewhat comical expressions are obvious here, but so is the smokey haze. This orange hue in the sky was as good as sunset was going be. Prayers up for those in harm’s way out west. Evidence this far away can only portend how bad it truly is.
These ladies are likely young Black Baldy cattle, a crossbred beef cattle obtained by crossing Hereford cattle with a solid black breed, typically Aberdeen Angus. They are a bit bigger than Angus, though they forage as well as Angus. That’s good, as you can see the ‘gridiron’ here is a bit on the rough side. They watched as we got back in the car, then ran alongside us until we accelerated past them. Rough field or not, they made hay of it… ha! I made a cow joke.
Although mainly nocturnal, the little owl can be spotted in the day hunting invertebrates (especially worms), small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and small birds. It is often seen perched a telegraph pole, an old parkland tree, along a hedgerow, or on a rock; from these positions, it quietly scans the ground for prey. When it spots something, it swoops down and catches its victim with either its claws or beak. Little owls breed between March and August, forming monogamous pairs and nesting in hollow trees.
