A couple of quiet outings

It was another beautiful sunny cold day today and I decided to have a change of scenery this morning.

After doing 'my smalls' I had a walk down the fields to the Holdsworth area and back.

Disappointed by the lack of birds on the outing, after lunch, I decided to walk up and over Soil Hill to see if I could see even less birds.

This went as planned with less birds seen.
