Lee Harrison's Nature Photography.: Rabbit

I had a walk down to Mere Sands with my Mum and Dad tonight after we had been told from a trustworthy source that "Every night without doubt, the kingfisher comes to this spot between 5-6pm" fantastic we though another opportunity to photograph this beautiful bird. So we went down and sat there from 5 O'clock till just gone 6 and nothing, a bullfinch made its usual appearance at 5:30 with With Long Tailed tit and Herons dropping in from time to time but defiantly no Kingfisher...

Even though we didn't get the desired quarry, I managed to get a few pics. on the way around so here they are:-

Rabbit

Squirrel

Canada Goose

Bull Finch

Heron

Anyway hope that you like my blog and that you will visit again,

Thanks Always Lee Harrison.

I haven't had much time recently, just enough time to go down to the local patch for a few short walks... so I decided to pop down to White Coppice and see what was knocking about...

I was pleased to see that the the Cuckoo was still around although it had chosen a different home to most year and has been spending a lot of time up the Nab, the Tree Pipits have returned and I even picked up a Marsh Tit which was a nice rarity down there, a massive number of Ravens around, my Dad and Me saw 4 together at once recently and a good friend of mine saw 8 on his walk around the surrounding area, a Peregrine has been reported although I haven't any raptors apart from Kestrel, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard and one unidentified raptor(that we were convinced was a Falcon(see earlier blog) myself but I do remember seen them over that area when I was very young so it would be fantastic if they had come back.

lots of different animals around as well, we have managed to get close to the local Rabbits and slightly more elusive Hares but talking to the local farmer be add that most nights whilst checking his livestock, he meets the regular Fox and Badger on him land although no sets can have been found.

Here are a few pics that I managed to get on the way around:-
