I went out in search of the local field foxes today. The buzzards (which live on the other side of the field) were being extremely cooperative while I was waiting, and several were cruising overhead in the warm sunshine.

I was also able to get closer to the horses that occasionally feature in some of my photos across the fields. They're fine looking animals, and the light was excellent.

There were plenty of rabbits too, but the foxes failed to put in a appearance. <\/p>\n

Back home it was another day of insects. Several hummingbird hawk-moths were feeding on the lavender.

And tonight the pond promises more dragonflies. I've just counted five nymphs slowly crawling their way out the water.
