A dusk walk in threatening conditions didn't give the hoped for views of the local barn owls. Too late for most birds; redwing were heard overhead along with a pied wagtail. On the ponds around Hadham Hall were 3 tufted duck and the resident pair of little grebes. A single chiffchaff called from the willows, now almost void of their leaves. A large party (25+) of lesser black backed gulls headed south over Cradle End, but that was about it.
However, the highlight was the rapid sunset, shown here through the trees around Hadham Hall. Very spectacular, but only lasting 10 minutes. The others show the tufted duck, the barn at Hadham Hall and the wonderful colour of some autumnal leaves. Hopefully I shall find time to photo these in really good light before the southerly breezes remove them all.
