The back end of last month saw me at Thornley Woods and Far Pastures. I took far too many pictures, at both sites, so I have split one Blog into two. This one is Thornley Woods.
Two Roe bucks were in one of the fields and at first,
I thought I was going to see a bit of sparing albeit from behind some bushes, alas
no. This is the only shot I got of one of the bucks and it shows the velvet
just coming off the antlers.
However, three females walked right past the hide this
is one of them.
This is the second.
A Heron had landed in an area just out of site from
the hide but as one of the females walked past the spot it got a shock as it
was not expecting the Heron to be there. The deer jumped and ran to the cover
of the trees. This is it looking back at the Heron.
This is the third female eating some bracken.
The startled deer looking around.
Something did spook them again and they all ran back from
whence they came. This one however could not resist stopping and having a good
look at me.
Female Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Nuthatch. I love the way they pose.
The Heron flew up into a tree and sat there for ages
preening, yawning, and generally having a good look around.
Long-tailed Tit.
I said to myself do not press the shutter as this
American Tree Rat sat on a post and what did I do, I pressed the shutter.
