Boothsdale

Blimey, it's the weekend and it's not raining, let's go! A wander around Boothsdale to see what's there (hundreds of horses on narrow tracks, apparently).

We found this Dunnock sitting in the track, dazed and not flying away. After a quick close up we moved it into the undergrowth and provided some emergency rations of crumbs. Might have had a run in with a horse's hoof but no real way of knowing what happened.
