Blurry Deer Photo - That's a First

 In today's post I will share some very exciting footage. I was showing the woods to my friend Chris; first I took him to the style - then I took him up a different path, one that leads to some of my  very first posts. 

However as soon as we came out of the woods we saw the herd of roe deer I have been studying for the last few years. It is the first time I have ever seen the deer in the flesh and they look a lot bigger than on the camera.

Here are the photos (taken by me).




Now the video (taken by Chris).

On the way back we noticed some hoof prints which must have been made by the deer.

That's all for today's post. Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!

Percy the Pigeon

Recently, a new bird has been in my neighbourhood. It's not a blackbird or robin - it's another friendly pigeon. I have had wood pigeons (one called Podge) in my garden for years but this pigeon is different.

Percy (that is the name I have given to this new arrival) is common, feral or town pigeon. Percy also has nice colour variant; a white body with a dark head. Two days ago I saw him moving around the pavement and the next day he was on my sister's windowsill. Later that day I saw him perched at the top of a garage.


Next time I saw him was this morning in the same spot as I first saw him. 





That's all for today's post. I know it has been a short and different post but I thought I should share Percy with you. Remember to leave a comment and thank's for reading!

Soggy Badger

 It is going to be a short post today, due to a pesky squirrel. Also, like some other recent posts, the dates aren't right. It has also been extra rainy this week so we didn't get much. Also like some recent posts, we have had some cows on the camera.



As the name of the post suggests, we also had a soggy badger out in the rain.





And finally, we had lots of squirrels, including one which moved the camera so it faced the bark and we missed the rest of the week.



That is all for today's post. Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!
