Helping the farm team out again this morning, checking and replacing failed trees in the agroforestry areas up above Conderton.

Not a bad workplace for a Thursday morning. 🌅

Took part in the @gamewildlifeconservationtrust Big Farmland Bird Count as part of our work duties this morning. Wow, what a morning for it after all this terrible weather!

Some clearance work around estate farm buildings yesterday. Lots of bramble and self-seeded trees growing in the wrong places. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Decent sunrise this morning on my last working day of the year ☺️ Season’s greetings folks - hope you have happy times over the next couple of weeks.

Wonderful light with this morning’s sunrise at work … and even a cheeky rainbow to top it all. 😊

Up on Bredon Hill earlier this afternoon, foraging for Christmas wreath material (don’t tell the forestry department! 🤫 🤣)

Lucky to have some impressive tree specimens around the gardens and wider estate.

Looking great in the sun today for #nationaltreeweek … a wonderful London Plane and a gorgeous Blue Cedar.
