I’ve been very neglectful of the blog lately, but I have been getting some decent photos. I’v also completely re-vamped my computer gear which was complaining loudly (literally the fans were screaming) at processing so many images. I now have a totally silent machine (no fans at all) from the excellent people at Quiet PC<\/a>. Built to my specification, ordered on a Saturday and delivered on the following Friday. It is wonderfully quick and makes no noise at all. I love it! It’s taken a couple of days to set it up with all my idiosyncracies, but it’s now more or less as I like it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it will mean I can get on with the real business of sorting out photos, some of which are featured below.<\/p>\n

\"Nicked<\/a>
This is the nicked-ear vixen, the bolder of the two regular foxes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"fox\"<\/a>
This is the more cautious of the pair… the male fox sitting by a shrub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"kestrel\"<\/a>
This is a male kestrel at Sheepcote Valley, Brighton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"fox\"<\/a>
The vixen again… very relaxed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"foxes\"<\/a>
A rare shot of the two foxes together (just about).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"shrew\"<\/a>
Ok, this one looks a little out of place. It was taken on a path at work. It’s an unfortunate shrew covered in greedy greenbottles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"badger\"<\/a>
I can’t forget the badgers… they are still coming too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The final shot in this batch is a sunset seen along the walkway at Brighton Marina.<\/p>\n
