Autumn colours

It has taken a while for the true colours of autumn to appear this year.  The mild weather has probably got a lot to do with it.  There have been few frosts so far and leaves have stayed green and many trees lost a lot of their leaves in the  high winds a few weeks ago before they even had a chance to change colour.  But now we have had some frosty nights and the colours are really shining through. This was the view from Older Hill looking west across the Weald on Tuesday.  

Lots of Fieldfares and Redwings about in small flocks, very busily feeding on this years huge crop of berries.
