Everything is Permuted

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

Around the Garden

, , , , ,

A change of pace today.. just a few shots taken in and around (and over) the garden over the past couple of days. I'll start with 'over the garden', a relatively scarce sighting of a buzzard. The photo doesn't do it justice (the bird was too far off), but this was late yesterday afternoon and the light was amazing.


This next little one was spotted late into the evening. I'd noticed the bird feeder had been going down; and now I know why.




Next up is a ladybird who managed to mistake me for a sensible place to land. And stayed there long enough for me to fetch the camera.


Tonight saw a frog put in an appearance. A most upright frog, if truth be told, sitting very proud in the pond.


I can't really do a garden feature without a fox, and fortunately Shutterbug put in the briefest of appearances this evening, just pausing for a moment before disappearing under the fence.


As for our love slugs, these were taken yesterday. I've not seen any around tonight though.




This is a short clip...

Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens, except the buzzard which was taken with the EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens (and even that was too short).

Excellent shots, especially the ladybird and the frog party wizard

Words, wonderful shots! I agree with Adele, but really like the frog too!

Flying mouse? bigeyes Or mouse with dissociative identity disorder - he thinks he is a bird left

Sami, thanks! I was especially pleased with the frog.

Adele, it was good to see the mouse again. They'd gone missing for most of the year.

Robin, thanks! Sometimes it's good to stay home.

Darko, they spend a lot of time in trees. It's much safer up there.

Erwin, thanks!

Mick, it has been a long time. I've re-filled the feeder and live in hope. Nothing more yet though.
