I am a big fan of autumn, love the colours, the smells and love walking through dried leaves, kicking them in the air, just like I did as a child.
Today we went walking at Mount Stewart, near Greyabbey, County Down. I love going to Mount Stewart. I enjoy walking in the garden, the wood or down beside the lake, and at this time of the year the autumn colours are just stunning.
Today the trees were alive with little birds. Robins, Blue tits, Great tits, Coal tits and much to my delight, some Long tailed tits.
But what made it a truely special walk, was seeing a Red Squirrel. The first one I've seen in over twenty years! And we didn't see just one, but seven of them! I can't wait to go back again....
