It was a glorious morning weather wise being mild, almost warm, with little wind and a sea like a mill pond first thing. Birds were present in enough numbers to keep interest levels up too!

The morning ended on a sad note however on the discovery of this Badger on the southern border of the recording area that had obviously been in a collision with a car last night or early this morning. Would have loved to seen him scampering up one of the hedges rather than like this. :(

I love your blog.
I recognise that bit of land!!
Adding video. well if you go into youtube and select a video you'll see listed by the side something called embed. That is the code needed to embed the video into your blog.
So if you have video you want to show in your blog create a youtube account and then embed it.
Thanks for your comment Lily, its nice to have you here
