Burnham Beeches

Having swept and raked up three sackfuls of beech-nut husks in the garden this afternoon, I drove to the recycling centre in Crow Piece Lane. Naturally I took bins and camera, and on a short walk from East Burnham Common I was lucky enough to see a singing firecrest. This was my second sighting of firecrest in the Beeches (third if I count Egypt Woods), and was some compensation for no longer being able to park near my most productive area for lesser spotted woodpecker.
