Although the Voles have been active all through the winter surviving on the seeds dropped from the bird feeder above , they are now more active and more aggressive with each other , fighting and chasing each other around the feeder base and flat stone slab , under which they like to hide ,they seem to be Ok with me being only a meter or two away .
hopefully i’ll get some more pictures in the near future.
Voles
I thought i would try a new look and also start posting again , New Camera , New look !
Picked up a road kill Grey squirrel today and put it on the post for the fox to have , didn’t have to wait too long before she turned up at the usual time .
Earlier in the day i was watching the swallows feeding their young and managed to get a shot of the parent and youngster together , but just missed the feeding !

It almost felt like winter had finished , until this week , with temperatures down in single figures. but despite this some nests already have young ready to fledge , these Thrush youngsters won’t be in the nest much longer , i’m really surprised they’ve made it this far as the parents chose to nest on the side of a lane in the bank in full view under some tin sheet.
Other birds in the garden now are also starting to nest , and are regular visitors to the feeders ,
I still can’t find where the Nut hatch is nesting though.
While the snow we had recently was fun , getting around was a pain , and by the 4th day i was glad to see the back of it . but it was nice to get out and try some shots with more movement in them and the snow helped by reflecting the available light.
