A week away in Edinburgh, in the campervan. I had not packed all of my camera gear as I was not anticipating there would be much to photograph; I was kind of wrong there! The photo at the top is one of the Highland Cattle that was in the field next to the campsite. At …
It seems the birds that had deserted us are back! Although at home we only have a back yard, last year we put up a few bird feeders to see what would happen. To our surprise and delight we attracted quite a few. At first there was the robin, then came blue and great tits. …
I decided against titling this, A Hare Raising experience! lol. This was the first time I have managed to see the mountain hares. The previous time I tried they must have been in hiding, but that’s the thing with wildlife; you can’t expect them to be on call! This time though I got very lucky …
After several days of appalling weather (cold, rain, fog), it was nice to get out this morning, back to my usual haunt. As usual it was a case of whether I can get to a spot to wait and observe, before any deer got there; otherwise they run off when they hear anyone. On my …
Deer have been a little thin on the ground this week. I have seen the trio and solo deer in my usual haunt, but also I have not been out looking for them this past week as much as usual. I took myself off to a couple of new locations and visited country parks, mainly just …
I went out for a late afternoon stroll, not to my usual haunt, but still somewhere I have seen deer and fox previously. I spotted something in the distance and looking through my telephoto lens I saw there was a deer. I did manage to get a little closer (the photos aren’t the best quality …

After 10 days of covid isolation I was out! So, on with the walking boots and head out for a stroll before breakfast; but after a cup of tea of course! I thought I would do my usual walk in reverse. Spice things up a bit, lol. I was keeping my eyes peeled for anything …
There are many, many times when I go for a walk and never see anything, well, apart from the usual flock of crows; there are always crows around! This afternoon I was starting to head back home, ambling along the path, keeping a look-out as usual, but day dreaming too. Then, to my surprise, out …
I often see a deer on its own and I think it is the same one. If you are wondering why Angel, have a look at the photo. Can you see the white marking on her neck? It almost looks like a heart. So, being a bit soppy I just thought I’d give her a …
The picture is a bit of a giveaway that this isn’t my usual, local haunt. These are Fallow Dear in Dunham Massey. I much prefer seeing deer (and most animals) where I can, in a wild, natural habitat. It’s not as though these in the deer park don’t roam free, but they are essentially fenced …
