Well I’ve finally kicked off the 2018 blog, with entry just squeezing into January. Other than the foxes I’ve not been taking too many pictures but I did get out briefly today in the sunshine. ‘Out’ being standing between some of the buildings at work, which just goes to prove that you really don’t need to go far to see wildlife.<\/p>\n

It started with a buzzard…

Nothing very fancy about that. There were two of them, gliding high overhead while the gulls circled.<\/p>\n

Next up came a sparrowhawk. This one was on its own…

Again, a very basic shot; but if there are buzzards and sparrowhawks about I keep looking. And sure enough, high among the gulls another bird appeared: a peregrine falcon (actually a pair). Being mobbed by a gull!<\/p>\n

On the home front Pretty is still visiting regularly, and we can hear other foxes nearby. This is a recent shot of her to close.<\/p>\n
