7 UP.

Not the well-known fizzy drink but the number of relatively newly hatched Mute Swan cygnets on Hatchet Pond in the New Forest.

I will say no more and let the photographs do the speaking – the only words I could find were ” just so cute.”

Trail camera.

Yesterday we collected our trail cameras placed at a Badger Sett in the New Forest. It was great to see several Cuckoos en route (see yesterday’s post).

Got a bit muddy in the process trying to get some photos of a small fungus.

In the UK and Ireland, it is known as the Bog Beacon,( in the USA it is commonly referred to as the Swamp Beacon.) This little fungus occurs only in very wet places and looks like a flower popping out of the water.

1st New Forest Pony foals of the year were also spotted during today’s walk.

The camera had some good Badger footage.
