Nothing but rain today so I was happy to have to venture no further than the back door to get these pictures during a brief respite in the weather this evening.
Shutterbug had wandered down from the far end of the garden, and for once hung around rather than disappearing through the fence/down the side/over the wall or any of his usual exit points. In return we gave him a small treat (following which he disappeared through a fence. 😉
The relatively mild temperatures, combined with 'damp' conditions also brought out a lone newt. It was perched on a wall, but quickly scampered under some rotting leaf matter (not before I'd managed a single frame).
And that really is that for the day.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.

What is that treat? It looks like an underripe tomato.

25 Nov 2012dW, it's a hen's egg 😉 They do rather like them.

26 Nov 2012Oh, yes … the colour put me off. Here it's nearly impossible to find brown eggs. They were common enough in my youth.

26 Nov 2012Just giving him a nice dose of healthy fats for his coat, and a bit of protein. I don't know how much of the shell he'd eat, but it wouldn't hurt him.

27 Nov 2012Sami, well Shutterbug is the honoured patriarch of the group so he deserves a treat every now and then. 😉

27 Nov 2012dW, they tend to leave the shell. They carry the egg of very carefully before breaking into it. One of our previous foxes used to climb trees to get at pigeon eggs (smaller, and softer shells).
