New Mammal...I think

As I drove out of the drive yesterday morning a tiny Weasel darted across the road from the pond and up onto the bank. I've seen a couple of Stoats in the 10 years we've been here, but I can't recall seeing a Weasel in the village. Otter next then..........!!!!

Due to work and home commitments I have hardly started sorting the holiday snaps out, however a couple have been duely processed and are reproduced to remind us of warmer, sunnier days!!

Silvereye

Australian Pelican

Felbrigg

An extended dog-walk into Felbrigg this morning, under an initially bright(er) sky, found me around the hall carpark where a Hawfinch immediately flushed up from the ground and stuck around for the next quarter of an hour, albeit elusively, before completely disappearing. Unfortunately this is the Felbrigg side of the hall, not Aylmerton, typical!

Hawfinch

Its official, I have P.H.B (Post Holiday Blues!!!)

Yep, still here, and have return to some wretched weather following a month in Australia, where the temperature didn't drop much below 23 C and hit 43C once! I am cold, jet lagged and have a ton of pics to download and edit, so unless something majorly rare flops down in my garden, I ain't going out for a while! Belated Happy New Year to all!!!!!!
