Through the Trees - The Handsome Family - Part II

 On a rainy morning, which may well turn to snow, thank heavens for a Part II.

A SHIFT of LOCATION but no less interesting, with 
Birds, Trees and Mammals including
TREECREEPER
(in the shade)
and again huge gnarled and twisted 'trunks' all around
along with more
New Forest
PONIES
before encountering who we dubbed the
BLUE TIT MAN
who had placed food so he, and we, might photograph the birds including this individual with a
Club Foot
and even enticing one or 2 onto his hand.
More Trees
this one complete with splendid 'noduals'
and others attracting the likes of the not often seen, by us at least,
HAWFINCH
with a
KESTREL
in 'hover' always a welcome sight.
Close to this Tree forming an Arch were found
FIRECREST
SISKIN
along with a vocal
LESSER SPOTTED WOODPECKER
by no means easy to find but no shortage of
NEW FOREST PONIES
this one looking as if in its Senior Years, we know the feeling!
along with a
NUTHATCH
close to the new beginings of
PLANTING
For Those Who Come After Us!
and yet more
NODUALS
before saying Goodbye to his Daveship and it's Goodbye from Me, for now!
