Decided to take advantage of still, sunny December day by taking a short walk along the route of the first passenger railway (not the complete Stockton to Darlington, just a few miles from Oak Tree to South Burden), delighting in the look of the blue sky through the bare branches overhead and the path striped by their shadows; it was spookily quiet, just a muted tweet or two from the birds, with the only other wildlife on view being dog walkers, a couple of horse riders, and a gaggle of WI types evidently dressed for their annual Santa walk - and then in South Burden Wood a glimpse of a fox who, on seeing me, retreated back into cover.
