Garden Wildlife UK

Sunday dawned with golden light and the promise of rain later, so I took the opportunity to scoot out earlyish. I thought the deer will look lovely in this light, and if they hadn't remained stubbornly distant they probably would have! As I walked along the road towards where they were gathered, probably 200 yards distant still, they got up as one and just wandered further away. Rather than cause any distress, I about turned and was delighted that over the hedge the other side of the road was a hare!

I hope you enjoy the meanderings that followed:

Looks like you had a great time PB Nice action shots of the hare. Well done with the redpoll, nice photo's for a first. Great set.

Great set of photos . Loved the Kite especially.

Lovely pics PB.

Thank you gents. I didn't see where the LTT with the feather went, but the one with the lichen was one of 2 making darting flights into the scrubby undergrowth on several occasions, so maybe nest building there. Be interesting later n the season hopefully

Very nice PB, especially the kite

Another successful trailway wander PB. Brilliant you caught up with some Hare. And you JUST HAD TO include SEVERAL redkite Photos!!!! Darn you had a great morning!!!

It certainly was Linda The hares were the biggest surprise, never seen them there before, and I was pleased with the kites coz not seen any to photograph properly for what feels like months. Chuffed with my newbie too

A thought you just meant it was your 1st sighting of a redpoll this year PB
Congratulations on finally seeing one

Ta At first I thought it was a Linnet partially in breeding plumage, but it didn't have the cheek spots, so I delved deeper
