I'm having a bowl of good old porrige, then I'm off to Messingham NR for a couple of hours. Then I might just wander on to Potteric Carr, a place I've yet to see.

I'm gonnae spend the morning on the interweb, to find a haunted pub for me and my girlfriend to stay in over the weekend. Or somewhere in the New Forest. Or somewhere on the rocky west coast.
I'll find somewhere!

I did n't realise how misty it was until I got there. But even these conditions present photo opportunities.

Lovely pics Tormentil. Quite haunting.
Linking in nicely with ......Let me know if you find a fab haunted place to stay Black Rabbit. I've heard the Red lion thingy in Avebury is quite haunted. Been there for lunch but that's about it.

That second photo is a cracker Ben, very moody and atmospheric. I've had a lazy day by my standards, didn't get up until 7:45am which is late for me. Sat and watched the birds having breakfast on the feeders whilst I had mine. Logged onto WAB for half an hour, then took my dogs for a long walk.
After a light lunch time snack I must admit I nodded off for about an hour, but then I do have to go to work this evening, then I took a few photos of the birds, nothing special mind so didn't keep any. I then cooked the evening meal for Sue and myself and apart from being on WAB until work time that's about it.

Found one.
I'm no sure if I'm allowed to give pub names out on WAB (advertising?)!
Lets just say its a mile or so south of Brockenhurst in the New Forest, and its intials are The F.I.
And its haunted. Still!
I don't think the ghost is too bad - it throws things about a bit allegedly, but you know, it won't kill you or owt! 
We are off to the farmers market on my road now for a spot of breaky, then we set off.
If I'm not back on WAB by tuesday, you'll know the wee ghosty at the "F.I." is very real indeed! Woooooh! Clanking of chains etc...

I've already done what I set out to do today. At 6:30 this morning, I was heading into the New Forest to photograph the wild ponies. It's a project that I've been working on since late summer, and although they are more approachable than most wild life, they still don't exactly queue up to have their photo taken.

I'm inspecting the underside of my duvet as I've got a small dose of flu thanks to my anti-flu jab I had on Tuesday. Typically there are Great Grey Shrikes, Penduline Tits and Little Bittern that I could be seeing instead. Grrr.
Cheers,

After my epic journies of yesterday, I'm having a lazy day, despite pointed hints issuing forth from the Leader of the Opposition.

What have I done today.
Had a great day out today. First stop was Aston Rowant NR where I found quite a bit of Fungi, most of which I'm still trying to ID. Also lots of Fieldfare and Redwing along with some Siskin and my first Brambling of the winter, and quite a few Red Admiral still around.
Second was Farmoor reservoir wher apart from the usual Ducks, Grebes etc a birding friend and I found two rather late migrants in the form of a Wheatear and a Whinchat. Also more Red Admirals and 20+ Common Darter and a Hawker (probably Migrant).
Also......on the way back I had a stunning male Merlin peched on a Hawthorn. The bird of the day.
The weather was warm and sunny and made for good day out.
Paul
