A few things from today.  Just after leaving the house this morning, about 500m down the road I spotted a couple of Stoats run across in front of me.  So I pulled up and waited to see if they'd reappear.  After a couple of minutes they did, along with a third.  I watched them for about 30 minutes running around the road and hedgerow, occasionally carrying something in their mouht.  I'm guessing they'd found a nest to raid.  But they seemed to be having a lot of fun.  Hilarous little things.

After that, on to the New Forest.  While drinking my coffee in the car park, I spotted a pair of Common Redstarts going in and out of the upturned tree at the edge of the car park.  So I jumped back in the car, used it as a hide, and got a few shots of the male and female bringing food into the nest.

And then finally, on the way home, the Little Owl was back.  On a new post.
