The South Downs were shrouded in mist again today. I stopped off at Seven Sisters early this morning. It had cleared a little, though a wispy mist was evident in patches. A juvenile swan was grazing in the meanders.

Further off, a flock of Canada geese took to the air, announcing their passage with distinctive hooting.

The swan was still there when I returned as the sun was setting at the end of the day, watched closely by a heron on the bank.

I’m not sure what the forecast holds for tomorrow, but it seems clearer tonight. Pretty, the fox, came by. Her leg is still bothering her but her mobility is barely impaired. We’re holding to a watching brief on her condition.
