Wood pigeons feed on the spilt grain in the stubble amongst the great rolls of straw.
A scrubby patch between the canal and the railway is a mass of thistledown with swatches of magenta rosebay willowherb.
We see half a dozen speckled woods (right) on a stretch of south-facing canal towpath backed by a walled embankment and overhanging hawthorns.
At the embankment by the canal basin a wall brown (left) suns itself, appropriately, on the stone wall.
