Summer with a Vengeance 29 Jul 2013 | 03:06 am

Twins Again! 1 Jul 2013 | 01:53 am
Each year in May we usually see the new born roe deer fawns. This year, however, I was beginning to wonder if there were any until just a couple of days ago when Mum brought them into the garden. They...

It has been a long time since I last posted. Too many things happening at home. However, I have still been watching and photographing the happenings in the garden, even though there has not been any o...
What happened to Spring? 24 Mar 2013 | 02:54 am

Happy Family! 4 Nov 2012 | 09:50 pm
Following on from my last post, I now understand completely why the muntjacs were so aggressive with the fox. I think the photo above explains it - a very happy little family! It is quite unusual to ...
