Reduced Cover

Oh deer! where are they going to seek cover now? Actually, the hinds on the Trentham Estate seem to be resting most of the time in a well fenced field near to the main road now that the conifer forest has been felled. I am assuming that the stags are finding cover in the broad leaf forest on the upper slopes of the estate.

It has been a very pleasant day today with dry crisp air and a lot of sunshine. The temperature has been above 4 degrees Celsius, quite warm for this time of year.

On our walk today I spotted the old inverted tree stump with another tree growing out of it. I have seen this root stump many times and now I have photographed it.
