An autumn country walk is enlivened by a passing train at Bramfield on @eastsuffolklines.co.uk, as @greateranglia.bsky.social 755 410 races towards Halesworth on the 10.08am Ipswich to Lowestoft this morning.
A grey train rushes past the fence and gate of a foot crossing, framed by trees and blue sky above and a foreground of dappled shadows on a footpath.

Oystercatchers live on coasts and shorelines worldwide. Because young oystercatchers lack the strength and skill to pry open hard-shelled prey like mussels, clams, and limpets, both parents continue feeding them for up to 6 months while they master these complex feeding techniques.
