No sooner had the Kingfishers disappeared yesterday, than the Muntjac turned up in exactly the same spot; opposite our windows on the far bank. Struggling to get the chores done here with ringside seats to such royal entertainment and in grave danger of chopping off a finger or two as I prepare food whilst not looking what I'm doing.
Today was grey with a stronger, colder wind but we had very little of the additional snow that we'd been threatened with. The dull weather seemed to put our Kingfishers off as well - we only saw one brief flash of colour from them today (or maybe they're still stuffed from yesterday's successful fishing mission). No further signs of the otter today either - not even tracks in the snow. Oh well, maybe we'll get lucky again tomorrow.
We had to move extremely carefully as he seemed aware of our presence and ready to bolt
I did just manage to fit in a 3 hour walk and make dinner, but that's all that did get done. Who cares!
It's still pretty out
One man woman and her dog - about to leg it after something (the dog, not Lesley) by the look of him. Probably Fallow Deer. No pictures of those so far; nor likely to be I suspect unless we build a hide. Still, who knows what will turn up outside our windows next.
This sure as hell beats pounding the floodbanks!
Some fantastic photos there you two, I really enjoyed the kingfisher ones yesterday too. For sure you are sounding a hell of a lot more happy about being over in the East.. I think I might be looking at those pics xx
ReplyDeleteBrandon Creek (aka Little Ouse) is lovely. Trouble is we'll have to leave soon before we run out of water - back to plodding up and down the flood banks. The permissive path has been removed up at Denver now, so that's another circular walk gone.
