@BrittanyRememb1 @montbarey @PriolG @sommecourt George Clare to the left of Tony Ward and Alan Lynn to the right.
Both I met several times. Still good friends with plenty of banter. Great company who related stories to me about my grandfather.
Lest we forget...

It would appear the frog activity in our wildlife pond, has attracted a Tawny Owl

It's been a while since I've seen a Chinese water deer close by here. But in the past week, sadly, a dead one on the A148 near the Crawfish and now a healthy one in the field opposite. The week before, a small group of Red deer in the same field.

Fox cubs locally. Left a trail camera in some private woodland with permission.
From 2021, but I only just found the memory card!
