Just Some Falmer Rats

I know they’re not to everyone’s taste, but I really enjoy photographing the colony of rats that runs around the edge of Falmer Pond. An adult put in an appearance today, plus (see final photo) a couple of youngsters.

Enjoy! (or not) 😉

Back to the Routine

I’m back into the regular (working) routine again, which means more photos taken down at Falmer Pond. Nothing too exciting to report, though this young gull posed nicely for me.

I will finish the long overdue ‘gull’ post at some point. It’s mostly written, but needs a couple more illustrations of one of the gull varieties. Meanwhile, instead of ‘Ratty’, here’s the slimmed-down version: a proper rat. this one looks quite young.

The last shot (I’m keeping things relatively under control tonight) is a sunset taken this evening from the rear of our garden.

On the Feeder

A couple of quick shots tonight of a young great tit enjoying one of the bird feeders at work.

Plus another youngster. This time a young rat peering out of one of the rat holes that pepper the fringes of Falmer pond.
