This is a bit of a mixed bag. I spent most of my free time looking for small woodland birds. I could hear them, but getting a clear line of sight proved somewhat more difficult. I had better luck with the speckled wood butterflies which were out in number.
This is a view of the woodland path I was following. It’s very pretty and runs adjacent to the fields where I was photographing buzzards yesterday.
I made a very brief visit to the pond at Falmer Village to check up on the moorhen chicks. They’re doing fine. 😀
Back home the garden is lively at night with foxes and badgers. I’ve even managed a couple of direct sightings of the bolder of the still shy pack. This is from last night.
The trail camera is doing rather better than me at the moment and there are some nice behavioural interactions among these clips of foxes and badgers taken over the past two nights.
I’ll close with the moon from this evening. It’s just a few hour past full and was still quite low in the sky when I took this.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

25 Apr 2014Adele, thanks! The weather is still struggling a bit, but is a vast improvement on the constant cloud/rain we had through winter. I really hope we get a decent summer. Good weather makes such a difference.
