There were a few young Sika around last night, but most didn't stay for a chat.
This one did though, maybe because his mum was close by. They are incredibly cute, just as curious and have a very serious fringe!

Less Time For Your Buck
As the evenings are getting darker it is becoming more difficult to get out with the camera in the evenings.
A quick wander last night was really needed but there wasn't a great deal about. The Sika rarely let you down though and this chap hung around for just enough time.

Everyone Needs A Little Space
Everywhere seemed busy today which is, of course, just what we need but there are still quiet places to escape to.
Hop off of the beaten track, follow smaller footprints and find your own rock to sit on.
It didn't take long before we were joined by a rather large family of Stonechats making way too much noise.
Sometimes it's good to relax for a while.
Eating Out
All of a sudden the spiders seem to have grown up! Plenty of food around for them too but watching them eat is enough to put you off your pasty!

St. Aldhelm's To The Anvil
St. Aldhelm's Head is one of my favourite places. Apart from the stunning views and the choice of many different walks home, there are so many stories about this place.
Ancient earthworks, a strange chapel that is at least 800 years old but still confuses historians, quarries both living and long since dead, and of course the more modern radar research during the Second World War.
Strike The Pose
It is always good when you stumble across a bird or animal that is happy to be in your company.
We spent quite a while with this Wheatear and I took far too many shots.
Curiosity
The walk to St.Aldhelm's Head is always worthwhile. The views from the top of the cliff let you take in the lighthouses at Portland, Anvil Point and St.Catherines Point on the Isle of Wight.
Plenty of little birds around, but the friendliest was this little Wheatear, who stayed with us for quite a while.
