Wildlife: In the UK!

My apologies for my long silence. Any of you who follow my FB page will know that 6 weeks ago, my daughter Sukey was born, so I’ve been a little busy!

Here’s a recent photo of Sukey with Kirstie while we were on holiday in Cornwall, and one of me with her on the beach.

But onto other things. I have managed to find some time to get out and about with my camera while there’s been some lovely weather in this country. I was out with my Dad last week and we had a fantastic evening; it all happened quite late in the evening, so the light was poor, but we found this beautiful pheasant with very unusual markings:

And this Roe buck who ran from us initially and stood on the skyline, but then lay down in the middle of a field and watched us for a while.

Astonishingly, because we’d carefully considered the wind direction, he then began to approach us and came to within 10m of our concealed position, before getting our scent and rushing off!
