A splash of colour on a grey day

This is what it really looked like today.

Cormorant

At ground level things were a shade better, mainly due to the crawling shutter.

Black-headed gull

Things will brighten up, but until they do here’s some more colour… Pretty, the young fox, in the garden. The clips are from the past couple of days. The time-stamp on the first part is wrong!

Standing in the Rain

It’s ok for this fellow to stand smiling in the rain, but not quite so much fun for the rest of us.

The forecast for tomorrow is mixed, but then we should be getting a dry spell; cold, but dry (which is fine by me)

Pretty Fox in Sunshine

Yes, it’s another post featuring Pretty, the little fox who keeps coming back. She is really very small, even allowing for her young age (just shy of 9 months). Small maybe, but quite feisty and very confident.
