Friday to Monday. Saw loads of stuff, Deer, various birds of prey, herons, nice tasty looking brown trout (should of taken me rod Julie!!) amongst other things but I was well chuffed to see my first ever Bullfinch which was nice.
On a side note on the way home we listened to radio Somerset which had Steve Yabsley on (12-2) and I aint laughed like that for ages, the blokes a legend.

My Daughter and I also saw our first Bullfinch over the week end..lovely looking bird ..quite fat or should i say plump..

Ps Exmoor trout have no taste, stick to the cod in the Bampton chip shop |

No stags. |

I didn't notice, he easily could have but my o.h sometimes wears camo gear similar to Johnnys and it can make strange noises at times when you move quickly, I have a waterproof/windproof 3/4 jacket, the filling a bit like a duvet and if I bend over quickly it makes a strange whooshing noise (no it's not me) and the displaced air comes out from around the collar and I can feel it on my face, I enjoyed watching them harvest the Wheat, it was nice to see it being done the old fashioned way with the binder. He seemed quite pleased to find the Wild Boar on his laaand I hope he does another series next year 'My Laaand The Sequel' to see if they are still there or if they are becoming a nuisance. I thought the Rabbit he said he was filming was a hare as its ears looked too big for a Rabbits but I could be wrong. |

Really enjoy JK and will have withdrawal symptoms after tonight has finished we look forward to watching every week. I will be ok though because my partner does a fantastic imitation of him and when we are out taking photos and trying to keep very quiet he will suddenly come out with a quote and impression of JK and has me in stitches - probably why most my photos are shaky!! (thats my excuse anyway)
Jk does guided walks, that would be a good laugh for a WAB outing, just a group of WABers and JK?
