As I walked past this view I realised that It was on a recent blip of Toots when the trees in the landscape had more colour.  There were dozens of pheasants in the woods and fields and several males were on the straw bales just a few metres from here.  Farmers have been busy planning for next year if they have not already planted seed and probably the nearest ploughed field will soon be prepared for planting and within a few weeks the emerging shoots will look green like in some of the distant fields.   But perhaps it won’t be long before the landscape will be white.
