Cold Bed

Plenty of prints in the fresh snow, so a good chance that we would see deer.


They were lying down where few people would see them, partially hidden under the trees, but able to see anyone approaching in the more open land to the north. The largest of them had chosen a bed a short distance away.

We were then treated to one of the great wildlife sights.

A flock of fifty or sixty geese in formation moved over noisily but with immense elegance towards the north west.

It's interesting that snow in itself lifts the visual appeal of places like this but often other things happen as well, some of them spectacular.
