No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Cloud Formations
Some interesting cloud formations over Foxhill this lunch time,need DCB to tell us what they,re about.
Swifts were still moving over >N today though in small numbers and BH gulls were over the new mown football pitches. An unusual sighting by Lynda this morning of 4 Goldfinch chicks in our back garden Rowan tree. The parent birds have been knocking around a while which is an unusual bird for this area.
Tonight I broke my golden rule and paid dearly, I always carry my camera around wherever I go on the off chance of getting lucky, either to work,dog walking or most times when I go somewhere. Anyway, tonight I had some painting to do at Shelf Moor and on my way back a dumpy little bird flew up out of the field as I drove past. A quick stop and reverse down the road found a young Little Owl sat on a wire not 6ft away from me, where was the camera, on the kitchen table of course. From now on it goes everywhere.
