No, it’s not a typo, the cam site is where I have set up my wildlife camera, there’s a Badger sett nearby so I’m hoping to catch their activity in the area.

I’ve been off here for a while now, not sure why, I seem to have been in a bit of a doldrum lately. I’m finding that everything, everywhere is becoming very watered down so … More Not a Pheasant Plucker!

I always have my phone with me when I’m out walking, I record bird sightings on BirdTrack, I take photographs, sharing photos with family and sometimes, I use it to actually contact people!!!!! This is a record of phone pics on my recent walks. … More January around the patch
