This little character has moved into our garden this week and we couldn't be more thrilled. A coconut-sized hedgehog eating its bodyweight in inverts, helping our flowers. Welcome little buddy, fill your boots!

What do you call a one eared muntjac? It depends on which side you're standing...

I hope this fox makes your Sunday better as it did mine this morning.

The coot wasn't best pleased though....

The lack of water in the wetlands after a very dry summer and autumn/fall means that Water Rail are being forced out of the shadows to feed. Stunning little bird, but usually so hard to see.

3 Glossy Ibis visiting our local reserve. Not a common visitor to these parts but this summer/autumn has been a bit different. They really like the water snails.

The red deer rut is well underway. Fantastic trip to experience the noise of these big fellas roaring among the oaks of Woburn.
