Pleasant circuit of #Royden. Not too bad underfoot. Six goosander on the mere. Coffee and carbs at the courtyard (Benty’s was busy).

A crow is perched on a tree branch along a forest path lined with leafless trees and mossy trunks. A forest path is lined with trees and large rocks on a slightly overcast day. A robin is perched on a branch surrounded by holly leaves and twigs. A female goosander is swimming on a calm, reflective body of water surrounded by bare trees.
