Winter Afternoon

Days when the sun rises near 8 am also give short afternoons and when you're on east facing slopes the sun goes even earlier. This is the case with much of Blacka. It offers excellent views to the east at their best on a bright windy day with the sun well over to the west. Then you can watch the sun gradually leaving only the tops of the nearest trees lit up.

That's when the masses of fieldfares swirl around trying out roosting sites. or maybe they're competing to get the last of the sunlight.
