Weasel

Shortly after an explosion of Wood Mice from a hedge, this enigmatic  Weasel
appeared. I see Stoats far more regularly but still not managed a good shot
yet.

November Bugs and flora

There seems to be an influx (3 in the last few weeks) of Western Conifer Seedbug
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_conifer_seed_bug
The western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, sometimes abbreviated
as WCSB, is a species of true bug (Heteroptera) in the family Coreidae. It was
originally native to the warm-temperate western USA (California, Oregon and
Nevada) but has in recent times expanded its range and become an invasive
species in parts of Europe.
 
Field Pansy is abundant in local stubble fields

Late September Magic

Autumn migration is always a special time when due to the vagaries of the
weather birds come and go. Its always great to be out on warm calm days just
after a period of unsettled weather as you never know what you will see next.
ps. Its also good sometimes when blowing a gale and raining but not so pleasant
to be out.....
