Everything is Permuted

Tales of a South Downs fox... and other ramblings

Country life

, , , , , , ,

Beautiful sunshine, but a bitterly cold wind was the order of the day. I headed out to the local fields before work. I'm always hopeful of seeing a fox, but so far fortune hasn't been with me. The pheasants are there though.


And there are sheep in the fields...


And ponies...


I headed back there at lunchtime... a pair of partridges were taking a stroll, but too far off for a decent photo. The pheasants were at the far side of the field until they decided to take to the wing.


This evening, the goldfinches were back in the garden.


The tadpoles were tadpolling around in the pond.


And the bold vixen paused for a photograph with a friendly hedgehog.

Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D. The daylight shots were all with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. The tadpoles were photographed with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens, and the vixen with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM.
