When down at the river I watched a Dipper flying up and down about 150 metres of the river. It stopped occasionally on some rocks but mostly it patrolled.
Not a bad shot of a cock Pheasant. I stalked it for a while, then took the shot as it rounded the tree.
Someone will know what this is. I think it has only 6 legs, so not a spider. Some kind of mite?
There were about 5 of them scrambling around the roots of some Cow Parsley. About 3 to 4mm long.
These are the seedheads of the Groundsel. They always seem to have little tinges of yellow left on them.
Look away if you don't want to see a Badger latrine.
