A few photos from down on the farm…

I couldn’t see the joke but something had certainly amused this sheep.

Further down the valley, something was on the move. A dark cloud swept over the sheep, swirling low over the filed, disappearing into the grass and then rising up once again. Yes, the starlings were on the move.

A Greedy Fox and a Hungry Badger

A short post tonight, with a food theme. First a couple of close-up shots of Pretty, helping herself to a markie biscuit from the garden wall. Just look at her eyes in the second shot. She’s a greedy little fox.

The second part of the post is a short sequence of a badger snaffling peanuts in the garden taken during the early hours of this morning.
