I began walking along my customary pathway; the sun was shining beautifully.  There was a magpie in a nearby sheep field, and several corvids were feeding on the grass with many more sheep in the distance. The narrow pathway was lined with shrubs full of autumn fruits, a feast for the small birds at this time of year. Sloes, hawthorn berries, and guelder rose berries to name a few, although I didn’t spot any damsons. Unseen birds were twittering within the shrubs on either side of the road.

I walked past Studley Church and then across the field to the River Arrow.
Many corvids, mostly carrion crows and rooks, were hopping about and pecking at the grass. I took a great photograph of the River Arrow, with the wind sending ripples on the surface of the water.

I continued walking along the river bank when a large white egret quickly flew away and landed in the branches of a tree. I managed to take a blurry, long-distance photograph of the egret using the distance setting on my mobile phone.
  I spotted a group of dog walkers in the distance and took a photograph to try and identify the dog breeds. I walked across the field and past the church, where I spotted a squirrel and a wood pigeon in the cemetery and took an interesting photograph of them together. As I began to walk back to the castle, a family with three bull terriers on leads appeared from a pathway across a field. I passed them on the pathway, and suddenly a shepherd dog in a nearby field began barking loudly at the bull terriers. Studley Church bells began to ring out, possibly as a practice for the Sunday evening service later today.
Today, I walked for 3.59 miles in one hour and 26 minutes.
