I’ve become consistently inconsistent in my posting, partly due to fewer opportunities to spend time out with the camera but also because I am becoming a touch more picky about what I do post. Anyway, here’s a selection from the first week of April (8 days a week?)
April 1st – I spotted this skylark on a fencepost at Sheepcote Valley on my way in to work.
Lunchtime – a pair of Kestrels over Moulsecoomb, University of Brighton
April 3rd – The first photo of a fox in the garden for quite some time. I was pleased despite the poor angle.
April 4th – another encounter with a garden fox
April 7th – a very pretty Yellowhammer at Sheepcote Valley
Today – a Fulmar at Rottingdean Cliffs, taken at lunchtime
And after several missed attempts, a short-eared owl this morning at Sheepcote Valley, Brighton
Final shot for today – one of the owls flying over the edge of the golf course.
Camera note: all daytime photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens. Fox taken with the EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM lens.

Nice week review. I have some photographs from our day trip to Bowen Island last week but they are still in camera, waiting to be downloaded and checked.
Darko, thanks! I’m being a little more disciplined than in the past… taking fewer pictures and spending less time processing the ones I won’t use for anything. Checking always takes too long. These days I scan quickly for the ones I’ll use and ignore the rest. Trying to work out what to delete is far too much work (far too many to delete!)
