By the start of November the salt marsh is losing its colourful\u00a0autumn attire and taking on a browner more wintery feel. Nevertheless there is still a hint of that\u00a0sumptuous,\u00a0darkly rich, wine red on the stems of sea aster. This red mingles with the drifts of bleach blonde grass, a wonderful sight.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6899\"<\/p>\n

Whilst the flora may be dying back for winter the salt marsh wildlife is coming alive. Hundreds of migrating birds have arrived.\u00a0 But so has the sparrow hawk and is chasing the newly arrived dunlin.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6902\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Redshank numbers increase at this time of year. I arrrived pre-dawn so it was still too dark to see the redshank but I could hear them.\u00a0\u00a0 The chorus of redshanks by Portishead Lock Gates gave me a rousing welcome.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6895\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is always exciting to see snipe, one of my favourite waders.\u00a0I love the texture of oil pastels on top of watercolours in this little sketch of a snipe and middle bouy.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7446\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once upon a time it was a rarity to see roe deer during daylight hours here. But now I see them regularly. By November they have traded their glossy russet summer coats for a browner\/greyer livery.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6907\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A busy morning for a tug giving the shipping a helpful nudge into\u00a0Royal Portbury Dock. Meanwhile a roe buck browses on the sea aster.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0886<\/a><\/p>\n

In early November there are still some greens to be seen – as here on top of Denny Island.<\/p>\n
