...You'll find me on my hands and knees!...
Get your mind out of the gutter!!
I was actually looking for nuts!

It's the annual "Great Nut Hunt" which aims to find areas where dormice are living. The dormouse is an endangered species here so it's quite important for animal geeks like me

to go out and poke around in rotting leaf litter looking for nuts with specific holes in

. For those that don't know what a dormouse looks like, here is one in hibernation!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I actually did my dissertation on dormice, so after spending 6 months crawling around forest floors i'm pretty quick at searching

. Sadly i didn't find any this time

, but i've got my eye on some big hazel trees for next time so fingers crossed!
Anyhoo, its getting slightly more autumn outside now and i

the changing tree colours this time of year, so in between nutting i took some snapatures!
And something that reminded me of Lindsay
By the way, i don't mean she reminds me of a horse or..that... oh, you know what i mean!
Also, i came across this old railway bridge and of course the local youth had added their artwork to it...
Um...don't look to the right...
Foxy Ladaaay!

Considering what people usually spray on walls, this is pretty good!
But then i turned around and saw this...
What the...

Err yeah. Very nice.
