![]() inside our neighbours little shed!! I was in the bathroom late at night when I heard a commotion and banging just outside! I wondered what the hell it was, thinking at one stage it was cats scrapping! I opened the bathroom window and glared out into the darkness but couldn't see anything, but I could hear growling and squealing and what sounded like someone hammering from within the shed 3 metres below! Nicola appeared from outside the back door, stood on a box and looked over the fence with a torch 'Hey, pack it in you 2' she said. The Red Kite was just outside Frome, and a Raven wasn't as pleased to see it as I was, and kept mobbing it in flight!Įarlier in the week my other half Nicola was moving some bricks about in the garden when she found a couple of tiny Newts sheltering underneath them! I grabbed my macro lens and laid on the lawn and took some portrait shots of the tiny creatures, before Nicola carefully put them back safely where they had been found.Īnother wildlife occurrence by my house this week involved fighting Badgers. Surely it's only a matter of time before they start thriving here as they have in other places, and I can't wait, as they are stunning beautiful and graceful birds of prey! ![]() When I posted one of the pictures to my Facebook Nature page ( HERE) it was clear from the comments that Red Kites are a common sight in many parts of England now, however here in Somerset they are still pretty rare. Unfortunately it was quite distant and into the sun for the most part, so the pictures aren't great, but I was still thrilled! I'd only ever seen a Red Kite 5 or 6 times in my life! ![]() It was still a good week though, as I photographed a Red Kite for the first ever time! If only I could somehow split myself in half, my photography loving half would spend every spare minute out in nature, where I am truly comfortable and relaxed. I didn't take many photo's this week, so this will be a kind of budget Blog post!Īll in all, just too busy! Work and family commitments come first. ![]()
