Burdon Moor

 Another walk around Burdon Moor at the end of last month. Once again, I could not resist trying to get the Stonechat catching flies again (sorry if you find it boring) it’s amazing to see his acrobatics.

Buzzards were circling over the fields.






And the male Stonechat was still catching flies.







This time he missed.

Mostly Kingfisher and Deer

 First sighting of a Kingfisher for a while and they are absolutely stunning birds. This female was fishing for quite a while and I, once again, have far too many images. I was just about to leave when a young Roe Buck wandered through so I had to stay and take pictures of it (well it would be rude not to :-).

A short sequence of it eating a flower.





It’s not often I take pictures of Rabbits.
