A long-tailed tit in the hedgerow. Not very easy to photograph; small flocks move fast along the
hedge, and are easier to hear than see.

Fallow deer, with the tell-tale stripey backside. The very pale fallow has no visible striping.

The woods are definitely changing colour slightly, but this still looks pretty wintry.
The postman and his van are still the brightest things around the countryside.

Tiny hazel flowers

Hazels are providing the colour in the hedgerows at the moment, especially in a patch of sunshine

February ends very wet, with a sodden Common

Looking across the wet Common to the pavilion. It looks a bit like cricketing weather!

The picture below looks pretty forlorn when compared with the same picture taken on the same day last year.
One yellow crocus can just be seen at the far bottom right of the picture.

Water pouring over the sluice below Old House.

The drop pools in Nymans Woods

Hazel catkins and pussy willow are beginning to open out, providing some colour in the hedgerows and woods.

24 Feb

New growth at last; the season is changing, but very slowly this year.

Water running in every dip...

...and filling the streams.
