Rabbit watching

While watching rabbits I saw a lot of other wildlife pass by.

and of course the rabbits.

Mouse hole project

Yesterday I spotted what looks like a well used set of holes at the base of a tree.
There seems to be a lot of scree around the bottom of the hole and what looks like a path from the holes around the tree going left to right.

I'll be back with sliced apple etc. to see if i can get anything to come out.

I've been looking at wheat fields to try and see a mouse, yesterday one ran across the path in front of me.

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.

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..
