The garden always looks a bit sad at this time of year, though there's plenty to do and I was looking at one of my jobs to do here. All the windfalls have been eaten by Blackbirds and Fieldfares, the former are permanent residents the latter fleeting visitors and for a few weeks the orchard is full of them eating and squabbling. The only apples left now are the ones like this one which fell into the pond. The Blackbirds will have a nice surprise when I get them out. The Fieldfares don't wait around and have long ago moved to better pickings. Now... to find that old fishing net.........
