October Sunrise

Not a good night, up three times and struggling to get back of to sleep afterwards.  I headed out early in the hope of some sunrise fireworks and to get some fuel, but the petrol stations that were available yesterday all had the dreaded cones at the entrance.

No pinks and blues but a brief appearance of the sun in the period following sunrise.  This is the area adjacent to the deer rutting field which has seen no action at all.  I have not seen any mature stags this autumn and I can only assume that there has been herd management during the summer.  Much as it saddens me to imagine what has happened, it was quite clear that last year there were three or four mature stags and that is probably unsustainable in a small herd.
