Seghill Rabbits

Came across some rabbits near Seghill they were quite animated moving around and not just being grass eating furballs.

Burradon Waggonway

Walking down a waggonway from Burradon pond I noticed some birds (swallows) on a dead bush. After waiting and watching and taking hundreds of photos I realised that the parent was coming back to feed the birds when they started moving and flapping their wings.

Burradon pond and beyond.

Went for a walk to Burradon pond today and the surrounding fields.  

Deer, fox & birds

Out and about walking around my local fields. I saw deer in two separate locations.
The first was a glimpse in the distance as it disappeared into a wooded area.  The second time was very exciting as I saw it about half a field away walking along the path heading in my direction but then I lost sight of it as it endered the woodland.  I took up a position were the woods narrowed and I could see across the woodland into the next field unfortunately it didn't turn up were I was waiting.

Moving into the woods I saw a fox but did not get a photograph as it quickly ran out of sight.

Also saw rabbits, pheasants a various birds..

Hen pheasant and surprise encounter.

When I was entering a field I saw a hen pheasant in the field to my left I started taking photos.  It moved out of sight and while waiting for it to reappear I looked over my shoulder to see if there was any activity up the other end of the field.  I was surprised to see a deer coming up very close behind me.

First snapshot as it started to run past me.

I was also able to get hen pheasant photos.
