Upper Ludstone, Shropshire (June 27 2010)

Driving and a stoat passed over one of the side roads. Without losing my concentration I am always switched on to what's going on around whether that be driving, walking or whatever. Stay alert and you never know what may be seen. My first stoat of the year.

Dudmaston, Shropshire (June 27 2010)

Early morning and a brown hare in full flight near the Big Pool. Had my camcorder and tried to capture it on film but typical hare, by the time I was set up it had disappeared.

River Stour, Worcestershire (June 23 2010)

Well into dusk I had the great pleasure of having a barn owl fly directly over me. And only three feet away as well. I was tucked into dense undergrowth at the time.

Sedgley - backyard (June 22 2010)

Really pleased to find common frog in the garden pool. Not just one either, but three. We used to have regular frogs but they disappeared for a few years. I hope they're making a comeback. Our garden pond is specially constructed as a haven for amphibians - no fish.

Dudmaston, Shropshire (June 19)


I don't feature many trees in my blog, so when I came across a cluster of five magnificent common beech trees on the estate I had to take a photograph. It came out quite good with the sun breaking through the foliage.
