So many Song Thrush (6 at once this morning) and Blackbirds in the garden this week, stopping off at #Greatstone on their migration from mainland Europe for the winter months. Snails, worms and berries on the Pyracantha disappearing rapidly #birds #kent🦉🌿

A busy week has largely kept me away from social media and will do so for another few days. Here's a quick photo of the last of the sunshine before the rain arrives this morning at #Greatstone. Have a good day and enjoy the weekend 🌞 #photography #clouds #weather #ukweather #kent #EastCoastKin
