The heat is rapidly dissipating, and both ends of today have brought unseasonal mists to the Downs. The sun did emerge during the middle of the day which is when I took these shots of some newborn moorhen chicks.

There was not much else to distinguish the day, but this evening brought a lengthy visit from Shutterbug. He was initially in 'lazy fox' mode, curling up to have a quick rest in a shaded corner just outside our back door.

The real fun started though when he heard the twittering of birds overhead and decided to investigate. The garden is bordered by a high shrubby honeysuckle hedge. It's reasonably densely packed, but certainly not the most secure surface for climbing. This is exactly the kind of behaviour that causes foxes to injure themselves.
