Out in the countryside today

[Barr1e]

Cow felt sorry for the cows - so many flies


Red Kite x2 – many around but flying too high or so far away




Muntjac amazing sense we were there


...and then walks across the field so we could get a close up of sorts

We get them in our garden here Barrle. Muntjac can be quite brave and often take no notice of us being close to them. They cost me a fortune in electric as they come to our water feature at night to drink and all the security lights come on. Wife not happy with them as they eat a lot of her plants. Good shots you have of them. Below is a shot of a male Muntjac in the garden.

Hi Ron -

They do seem to be brave creatures, I wonder if the angled face they have gives them courage.

Thanks for commenting.

Nice set, Barr1e

We don't see Muntjac down here.

Just starting to see more Red kites though.

Lucky for you Ron. We only get Urban foxes near our garden, and those are usually ill with mange. Nice clear shot.

We used to consider ourselves lucky to live among so much wildlife, but after 17 years of it we have kind of changed our mind. It's hard to live a normal life with rats under your garden shed, Muntjac eating your plants and squirrels after your nuts .

Re: Out in the countryside today

We had a rat like that one, Ron. But no longer. Seems my air rifle was accurate.

Your bird feeders are well stocked with fed and birds. Enjoyed seeing them.

Your aquarium was interesting. Keep meaning to do some photos of fish. But haven't got to it yet.

Hi Ron -

I enjoyed those.

Here is one of mine containing pix from Anne's camera too - I hope you like it.

Re: Out in the countryside today

A very nice selection there, Barr1e.

Gotta say The cat didn't look to wild

Quite surprised to see the Common garden spider taking the wasp. They usually release them.

Enjoyed seeing these. Thanks.

Re: Out in the countryside today

Yes I agree with Garry. You have a very nice selection of pictures. I like the Kingfisher and only wish I had been more successful in photographing the one and only one I ever see while out fishing. It was on an island in the middle of a lake and I only had my old pocket Canon 100s with me. Sadly those days are over now as I go everywhere in a power chair.
