Take it as red.

Monday I wandered the rides of the Warren near Buckland looking for the previously reported Crossbills , firstly from the sandy lane entrance close to Hatford and later from the entrance running east from the hideaway where one enters by crossing part of the carswell golf course and it was at  this entrance that I saw four Redpolls adding to my somewhat meagre list of two Mistle Thrush, a pair of Ravens, couple of dozen Fieldfares, three Buzzards and three Red Kites. Pretty certain I had a brief view of a Polecat as it dashed across across one of the rides and also a Hare was seen as it meandered around part of the woodland quite unaware apparently of what was going on around it. The Crossbills remained unseen but this is very possible with such a large tract of woodland to cover.
The Oxon Feather.

Any ideas on this shrub?
