Savi's Warbler and Muntjac, RW, May








The deer came round the corner while i was quietly waiting for the Savi's to appear. It approached to within 3 meters before going on it's way.

Curlews and Whimbrel, RW


A Whimbrel heading north with a pair of Curlew.

Mitrophora semilibera, RW





Fox, Rutland




This foraging fox suddenly appeared during heavy rain. My camera was still in the bag and i didn't have time to change any settings, hence the blur and poor quality. It had clearly had a close call with a gun at some point in it's life.
