#AshtonCourt #Bristol they’ve mown the plateau as the skylarks have fledged. Bess is enjoying the open space again!
Not a brilliant recording because of the traffic but surely this is a Wood Warbler singing in woods at #AshtonCourt in Bristol?!! That unmistakable spinning coin on a table sound 😍

A beautiful morning to marshal parkrun! #Parkrun #Running #AshtonCourt
Not good at tech descriptions of clouds, small almost joined up puffy ones ending in a diagonal line of solid dark grey mist above - below : short grassland with a muddy path between two stands of evergreen trees stretching to a horizon line. Really not good at this, sorry. Feeling of expansion, distance, no vehicles, people - space to breathe in.
I took this trying to get the city buildings floating in the mist below but ended up with a cloudscape and an illusion of countryside instead #ashtoncourt
Sunday afternoon #AshtonCourt
Blessed to call this corner of the world home and parish! (those are red deer btw)

Two stags locking horns.
One stag in profile.
Needed some fresh air and ended up in Ashton Court Estate. Delighted to see deer up close. #ashtoncourt #ashtoncourtestate #reddeer #naturephotography #bristol

Lovely playful day at #AshtonCourt in #Bristol and fantastic to see it so busy with local folk enjoying the autumn sunshine in this special public open space
This is a 3yr old’s paradise - nature meets ruins to make an adventure playground and a stage for all sorts of stories
