We are being blessed by a late burst of summer. The temperature is mild, the skies blue (most of the time), and the autumnal colours are vibrant.

The day had in fact begun with greying overcast skies, and a touch of rain in the air, so it was welcome bonus to find the sun out at lunchtime. The cattle were out in the fields, and at least one young male was feeling rather frisky.

Others were behaving rather more sedately, sheltering in the shade of the trees.

In the distance a kestrel cut across the edge of the woods.

I followed. It settled in the tree and then rose again to hover. I debated whether to move across to get closer or to watch and wait. I waited. And I was rewarded when the kestrel tired of its hunting patch and swept across the fields to the wooded area on the far side of the valley.

I followed him for a while, knowing that in doing so I was heading in precisely the opposite direction to where I should have been going. But a lunchtime kestrel is a lunchtime bonus that is hard to forgo.<\/p>\n

And this is the video from last night, when Bold was investigating the torch and trail cam. Quality is not good, but you can see her now quite distinctive limp (which I think must be permanent).<\/p>\n
