A misty Sunday walk on the South Downs. Hares were about, but some distance off.
A splash of colour in the grey weather was brought by many Yellow Hammers.
The yellowhammer is a sparrow-sized bird, they are a member of the Bunting family. A bright yellow bird of woodland edges, hedgerows, heath and farmland feeding on seeds and invertebrates.
A short film showing the difference between Toad and Frog spawn. {Recorded in the New Forest this week.
Toads are returning to their breeding ponds in the New Forest.
Close encounter of the fox kind. A photo-heavy post of a nice condition young fox while walking in the rain at Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve yesterday. Always nice to see, and even better when they just wander past when you stand still.
off she goes!
A female Kingfisher at Titchfield Haven this morning. I find it amazing how some birds can balance on very flexible perches.
Grey Heron waking for the day ahead!

Snowdrops are a welcome sight.
The Curlew is one of my favourite waders. I never tire of watching these large waders, whether on our coast in winter or on the moors during their nesting season. Not only are they a pleasure to see, but their call over the mashes is also a joy to hear. Just one picture today, and a video – something I have not captured before, a Curlew catching a Ragworm.
