The little wood mouse was in spectacular form tonight. I spent over quarter of an hour hovering around the feeder taking photos. This is the only one I've processed so far. It's a full frame shot taken from about 12 inches away. One happy wood mouse \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

No photos of the foxes today, although I did see a vixen shoot across the garden during the day and again this evening. She seems purposeful so there are almost certainly some cubs nearby, though whether they are hers or not I don't know.<\/p>\n

The pond of course provides a rather more captive subject for observing, and the spawn is developing apace. Indeed they are virtually tadpoles now.<\/p>\n

The final shot for today is a newt breaking the surface of the pond.<\/p>\n
