Only had one shot at the little gold crest before it was off into the conifers

Lovely Dunnock against beautiful blue sky!

Lovely photos everyone,    here's a Common Buzzard  (one of two seen together)  today;    beautiful sunny morning/afternoon with no breeze :)

Walk in Tatton Park today and took me over an hour to find any deer as they were at the far side of the Park mostly out of sight;   

these are pretty little Fallow deer

what a cutie pie …..

and along came three dogs off leash  !  ……...………………...…………  goodbye deer ! 

The red stags were distant too 

and an even more distant Fieldfare,  one of over 100.       I was waiting patiently to capture them up in the trees as they fed but sadly 50 or more were spooked when two dogs ran towards the woodland :(        several more followed through and went out of sight so you only get a distant pic when I first encountered them.   They will be heading northwards now back to Scandanavia and maybe eastwards towards Russia.     I will miss the winter thrushes when they leave our shores.

If the fieldfare was more distant than the red deer...… then is it 8 foot tall? Lovely captures Hazel. I may have to venture into the New Forest to see if there are any deer about....after packing of course .... under supervision lol

It was, how did you guess  ?      lol      

this is what I really saw …….    some deer were where the furthest fallow were   -    almost in another county     lol 

Hi PB we drove up from Arne this pm through Pimperne, you didn't put the flags out?

I fanfared.....  Me and the whole family parped our brass for you. Did you have any luck?
