I’m going to risk the wrath of the weather gods and say that it really does look as though spring has arrived. Another bright sunny day at Falmer, a touch cool but it really is now beginning to look and feel like springtime. So to celebrate, some cute shots of a rat down by the water’s edge, with some nice reflections.
It did eventually scramble up the bank in search of the bread left out for the ducks.
Two other seasonal moments: first a chirpy little blackcap spotted at the edge of the Westlain Plantation at Falmer:
And to close, my favourite shot from today of the baby moorhens.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

12 Apr 2014Andy, they are wonderfully strange little things. They remind me of something made from cotton wool balls and colouring crayons.
