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.
We had sunshine today, and there’s the promise of at least a couple of dry(ish) days before the bad weather returns. You can never be quite sure about longer term forecasts (and I count 4 or 5 days as longer term), but we could certainly do with a dry spell.
Out in the garden we had sparrowhawks flying overhead (several times), and as dusk descended a buzzard was escorted past by a pair of herring gulls. It was already too dull to try for a photo, but I did manage several of the various sparrowhawks.
This post though is called ‘A Healthy Walk’ and is supposed to be fox-related. The walk in question is Pretty’s, and it’s healthy because she is finally using her injured hind leg with only the barest trace of a limp. I took a long sequence of photos of how as she roamed the garden. These are a small taster.

We’ve had rain, sunshine and hail today. Par for the course at this time of year. Plus a fox (Pretty). Also par for the course. Here are a few photos of her. The first two were taken in the early hours of Saturday morning. The remainder were taken through a window, late morning, while we still had some sunshine.
