Your day's wildlife

[gbb]

A visit to RSPB Frampton Marsh today with my son, no photos yet but funny thing happened.
We were walking along a path and I spotted a Snipe around 20ft away, a bank of reeds between us and the grass it was working through. It was barely visible as it rummaged, we stood and watched.
A couple walked up 'whatcha got ?'
'Snipe in the grass there'
'Oooh'

And so 2 watchers became 4, and more joined...
We walked off, it wasnt really showing well. As I looked back, there were about a dozen people intently watching
Everyone loves a Snipe...

Out late last night, it was dark. Popped to Aldi for some emergency bits, well gin actually. Also an excuse to test my new front light.
Took a cross country short cut home from the shop. Emerged from a footpath into a lane and met a fox coming out of the hedge.
We were both a bit surprised 🙀.
Rest of the trip was uneventful, pleased with the new light though
