A few pictures that I took while walking in the New Forest to collect our Badger sett trail cameras which had been out in the forest for a week.
A juvenile Fallow deer Buck. He will be a magnificent beast in a few years.

A small herd of juvenile Fallow deer hinds.

It was nice to see a Grey wagtail they are a relatively rare bird with a population of just 38,000 breeding pairs in the UK. They are, subsequently, classified as Red Status bird due to this low number.

Some more views of Tufted Ducks – these were on the old mill pond at Bishop’s Waltham near Winchester.
The drakes are black and white with a golden eye and sport a tuft. The hens are more camouflaged and brown in colour.
As kids, we called Tufted ducks Tufties.

Another deer stalk – Fallow Deer in the New Forest.











I popped into one of the city centre parks (Southampton) to see if there were any signs of the Parakeets nesting they were still one pair spotted and other birds heard but not seen. No nesting yet.







Foxes were out in daylight this morning in the Water Meadows at Titchfied Haven.
The Canada Geese were not amused!
