This weekend, I stayed close to home and walked around the meadows and fields.
The sun was out and it was a glorious day.
Billy came with me. We walked and walked until we were too tired and hot to walk any more. Then we went to the top of an embankment and watched what was going on.
We saw a buzzard soaring over the fields and a kestrel. Meadow pipits were still around.
There wasn't too many wild plants about. The odd Field scabious and this Scarlet pimpernel.
I was trying out this Maxpedition Sitka from Lakeland bushcraft. I'll do a full review of this next month. And of course I was still getting used to my binos.
Today's weather was nearly as good. I walked into Poor Park and noticed that already there was quite a layer of fresh leaves on the ground and distinct smell of autumn permeating the woods.
It wasn't long before I spotted the Fallow herd at a distance. I'm sure I heard a Buck bellowing the other night, so I suppose it won't be too long before the rut begins.
On my travels I met up with the Muntjac buck. I saw him foraging about in the undergrowth and crept up as close as I dared and waited for him to come onto the path. A little squeak and he was inquisitive enough to turn around and check me out.
