It is easy to miss these ladies and gents. Pheasants, especially the females, are tailor-made for blending into the Heather.

At this time of year, the mists rise and can take hours to clear. One of the most magical sights on the Purbeck is that of Corfe Castle slowly regaining its dominance over the Isle. Not a bad way to start the day.

The Roe deer are all looking a bit rough at the moment. They are losing there beautiful summer coats and will soon be a bit duller and a bit warmer.
The Woodpecker popped up just the deer walked past.

The light starts to go way too early at this time of year.I don't get as much chance to just sit and watch. This is the view from the hills behind my house, somewhere I spend a lot of time and somewhere I miss when I can't get there.

Well, I 'm back home now and going through the shots I have taken over the weekend. There weren't too many, it's quite hard to focus when you are testing so many beers. Camping at this time of the year is interesting to say the least, we had just about every type of weather going. This was taken early, on a very cold morning.

I haven't seen many lizards this year, so I was quite happy when I literally stumbled across this one. A bit of a chilly day, so he was a little sluggish and seemed happy to pose.
