14.04.24 Another local walk around the village a good few days ago. The Little Owl was even closer and so was the Roe Buck which made photographing a lot easier. I also got my first local Hare of the year.

Brown Hare. I have photographed others but this is my
first local one of the year.
This Wasp was waiting for me on the window sill when I
got back home.
13.04.24 A walk around Burdon Moor where a pair of Stonechat showed very well as did a Red Kite which was right above me at one point. Willow Warbler were singing away merrily so it made for a pleasant afternoon walk.

13.04.24 The Little Owl was a bit closer this morning on my short local walk and so were the Roe Bucks it’s only a pity the light wasn’t better.
Little Owl. A little closer but not by much.
One of the two Roe Bucks that are nearly always in the
field.
However, this one didn’t stay long.
The other was being followed by a Pheasant.
It did come quite close to where I was.
Then something spooked it and it was off.
Even with a beak full of worms this Mistle Thrush was
making alarm calls as it was chasing off Jackdaws.
Its partner joined in to try and chase them away from
the nest.
