Nothing at all from the day (which continued the recent pattern of being wet, windy and generally dismal), but four portraits of Pretty the fox taken in the garden this evening. Her leg seems to be holding up well (she went back to limping a couple of days ago, but she was walking well last night and tonight).
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.
These photos were taken yesterday (Tuesday), early morning. A rat on a rock, just as it says in the title.

It was a little brighter this morning when I arrived at Falmer. Partly due to some improved weather, and of course dawn being just a few minutes earlier as each day passes. The Muscovy ducks were there, and at the far end of the pond the greylag geese were sitting calmly on the water.
The peace was shattered by a pair of greylags making a short and noisy flight to the centre of the pond, followed closely by a gaggle of loudly hooting geese. It looked like a fight, but this was the rather more serious business of mating. These are a few highlights from a much lengthier sequence.
The afternoon brought more sunshine (!) and some typical scenes of sheep grazing on the Downs.
Plus my first photo this year of a green woodpecker.
