This is nothing to do with the ludicrous attempts by the Prime Minister to vilify yet another of our wildlife species (in this case a red listed bird), but some shots of herring gulls chasing each other on the wing. The photos were taken at Rottingdean today, just along from here. At no time did I feel I was in any danger 😉

It’s been a long time, and I’ve had little success in the garden, but today I did manage to photograph a fox. Ok, it was a long way away, but a fox is a fox and if it’s a fox it’s on this blog. I spotted it at the far end of the University of Brighton campus at Falmer.
That’s an uncropped photo. This next one isn’t.
Far from great, and even at that distance I may well have spooked it by daring to take a few steps in its direction.
And that was that. More early morning fox watching beckons!
I had more success with the squirrels in nearby woodland that runs along the edge of the campus.
This is the shot I mean. A squirrel portrait!

Sunset over North Woodingdean
Click on the images to enlarge. Both taken this evening. There was a brief gap in heavy cloud which lit up a gorgeous sunset strip of red and gold.
