Ending the week in the New Forest.
Another end of a week with many visits to our local National park The New Forest. It has been a good week for deer watching which makes more pictures for today’s post. {so look away if you have had enough of my deer pictures!}
Today it was back to Fallow Deer a small herd of Bucks {although they are so magnificent I feel Stags would be a better name for this breed’s males}.
Fallow Bucks.
I also spotted a Fieldfare. They are a large, and colourful thrush this was the first time I was able to capture one in a picture.

Update on local Paraketts.
Another return to one of Southampton’s parks to look for Ring-necked Paraketts. A least 2 pairs of Paraketts were checking out nest holes and one pair was mating.
Hoot of the Coot.
Hiding in the reeds.
I quote the RSPB website “the water rail is a fairly common but highly secretive inhabitant of freshwater wetlands.” Look hard at my 1st picture; this is often the best view of this rail you get!
This afternoon I was lucky that the bird at Titchfield Haven broke cover and ran for the next clump of Reeds.

A flock of Shelduck brighten up the sky on the River Hamble.
