I was walking around the edge of Falmer Pond and glanced out over the adjacent fields. I&#39;m ever hopeful of seeing a fox out there (they are around but very secretive), but what caught my eye was a &#39;large rabbit&#39;. It was a very long way off and of course it wasn&#39;t a rabbit, but a hare. It paused briefly and then bounded along the gap in the crops before disappearing into the thicker cover.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/hare_2604122426.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>There weren&#39;t really any other surprises today, but  I did find time to watch the yellowhammers which were flocking with the local sparrows. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/yellowhammer_sparrow_2604122326.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>In another sign of the prospect of summer, a lone house martin flew overhead. The shot&#39;s not up to much, but it&#39;s a way of recording the first martin of the year&#8230; just a few days after the first swallow.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/house_martin_2604122613.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>For the rest, I&#39;ll leave it to the goslings.
