Somerset Orchard - Christmas Eve 2011

We are staying with Dawn's sister and brother-in-law, Celia and Martin near Crewkerne, Somerset. I took a wolk out the back of their house to visit a huge commercial orchard complex where thousands of Fieldfare and other thrushes are gathering for the annual 'scrump'.
























It's always nice to return to the UK and see the lovely Dunnock, I do miss this little beauty and its melodious song, I'll try to photograph it tomorrow. Other birds in the orchard were: Great Spotted Woodpecker, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Blue Tit and Great Tit.

If the weather is good I shall go there again on Christmas morning or Boxing day morning.

Merry Christmas.
