Wow. That second's just an amazing photo. A mole on its own would be cool enough! |

I was sitting on the decking when I noticed something small wandering about the lawn, and when I went for a closer look it was a little Shrew, which scuttled into the flower bed foraging around for insects. I think it probably had been caught and released by a cat as there were a couple of dark marks on it's side.

Went for a walk this evening to do a bit of bird spotting...just as I finished the walk I surprised a muntjac on the path not 30 foot from the houses. |

Travelling home late last night, I saw three foxes. One alone and about half a mile further on a large fox and a smaller one. I assume that it was a vixen and a cub. I slowed down and the vixen stood watching me. |

Leaning over the gate late last evening watching a young fox cub running round the field(1st cub I've seen here!),he suddenly ran up to a Roe & her 2 youngens (which I hadn't spotted!)then shot off in the other direction really quickly!!!
The deer wandered around for a while then mum hopped over the fence,the other 2 were too small so they were running up & down trying to find a better way through..one did but the other didn't,just kept going up & back making a very soft sqeeky noise!Had to go in cos it was getting dark,hope mum found her baby !
Was a lovely experience to watch as they had no idea I was there.
Have seen 2 adult ones before but 1st time to see the young....wondered where the other adult was....I hope that wasn't what was being shot at the other evening!

Being up at 5.30 am on a sunday has paid off, I didnt see any deer which is what I went out at a ridicuolus hour for but I did see one of these: 
Im pleased as punch because ive never seen one and didnt realise how huge they actually were. This one actually charged a man with a dog a few times luckly he managed to get out of the way in time. | | | |
