early morning

[nightshade]

Strange old day ,started off with twitterings in a thicket that turned out to be a ball of long-tailed tits,deep in a holly.
The next was a bird giving an anxious call (not quite an alarm, but not happy)
I managed a picture of it,then later driving up a secluded track I suprised a Fox asleep in the sunshine on an embankment,closely followed by a team of jays working leaf-litter under a crab apple tree,one would lift a leaf and the other two would snaffle any morsel revealed,all this to a background tussle and chase of squirrels watched from above by a crow!
