Meadow Pipit
Many once common farmland birds, like the pipits & wagtails migrate to the coast in the winter, where it's easier for them to find sustenance on the shoreline.
As they don't eat berries & seeds they need live invertebrates, so when the farmland gets cold & their regular food dives deep in the soil they are often seen turning seaweed & pebbles to catch sandhoppers & the like.

Oak Mirror
I've photographed this oak tree once before & made one or two interesting mandalas from the images.
Thought I would look at it again in different light & more detail.
The tree is probably about two hundred years old, growing on a field boundary not far from home.
So whilst the dogs where chasing imaginary bunnies I said hello to an old friend.
