On my 14 mile each way commute yesterday, starting at 6 am, a fox almost straight away, trotting away from some houses. A few miles further along into the countryside....possibly 2 largish deer in a field but it was hazy so couldn't tell. One probable red kite stood in a field nearby.
Homeward bound, all the usual hedge life, 30 or 40 red kite in the usual place and there were a couple of cars parked, people taking photos, and very nearby, 4 buzzard, one soaring quite high. Not often youll see 4 in the same place.

Lots of cowslip (yellow bluebell type flowers ?)...at the roadside.

We had another visit to Summers leys today only for about 20 minutes and we spotted little egret , large (cattle) egret , pr of mating swans , tufted ducks male & female a pr of crested grebe taking it in turn to sit on a nest and just the one shoveller duck .

And we have just sat looking out on to rear garden and saw quite a few sparrows , dunnocks , pigeons , a single blackbird and a magpie that came down for a wash in the bird bath .

Saw at least a dozen herons perched high in a tree this morning. Didn't think they could do that with their long legs.

I saw the full set of wild flowers on my ride this morning but I was too lazy to stop and photograph Cardamine, celandine,, primrose,, bluebell, wood anemone,, cowslip plus a few others.
Just had a front garden tick of 21 years here with my first long-tailed tit.
