Back to the sunshine and a chance to head down to local farmland at the edge of Falmer. I stopped off to photograph this elegant horse…

… and this pretty white pony.

Out across the fields a flock of woodpigeons was flitting from point to point.

While in the distance the real farming is underway as the fields are prepared, much to the delight of the herring gulls who were keeping a close watch on the freshly tilled earth.

The one real surprise of the day was down at the pond where a heron put in a brief appearance, conveniently resting on a “No Fishing” sign. It didn’t stay long though, and I watched as it headed out over the Downs.
