The good weather is still holding, and I found myself out near some of the more agricultural fields at lunchtime. <\/p>\n

It was quiet, a few crows and magpies but none of the buzzards that are sometimes seen swooping low over the fields. I'd been watching for 10 minutes or so when I saw some movement. A pair of roe deer were galloping across the field in the distance. I have seen them here before, but only skirting the woods on the far side of the field in the early morning. This is quite possibly the same pair<\/a> I saw back in August.<\/p>\n

I made my way further along the hedgerow to get a slightly closer view. <\/p>\n

And watched as they headed back to the security of the wood.<\/p>\n

Heading back to work I had two more good sightings. First a green woodpecker.<\/p>\n

And finally, just as I was back near my office, I glanced up and sure enough a buzzard was circling overhead.<\/p>\n

Not bad for a slightly rushed 40 minutes.
