It was very much business as usual at Falmer Pond today. The rabbits were out in the fields in the morning. There are plenty of young ones about, looking healthy and bright-eyed.
The big white goose continues to make splash.
It can’t compete though with this pair of greylags playing chase across the surface of the pond.
The oddest encounter is this final sequence of the Falmer rats. Not that it’s unusual to see them, but this young rat was being fed scraps of ham by two women who were delighted and intrigued by its cute behaviour, even going so far as to shoo away the ducks in case they frightened it.
All in all, a normal day at Falmer Pond.

3 Jun 2014Nice shots, Words … a good variety. Glad to see things waking up, over there. I’ve been chasing a pair of turkeys over here, trying for some decent shots.

3 Jun 2014I like that sequence of greylags chasing, looks like a serious territory fighting.
