At the moment there's lots of baby squirrels darting about all over the place but a good time to see wildlife is when we're out with the horses. The sound of hoofbeats doesn't seem to frighten other animals off. Once we saw a sparrowhawk and a kestrel circling round not all that far apart. First light is a good time to look out of the window as on one occasion I was awarded the site of a family of foxes wandering around the horses in the paddock, Dog,Vixen and two cubs. I wanted to shout out "keep away from the chooks". Walking home along country lanes late at night I often pass the time 'talking' to owls. As the owls call, I call back trying to imitate them,after a while the nosey birds will fly towards me to have a look whats going on; sometimes even landing on the ground in front of me quizzicaly eyeing me up. Too many stories to tell. I just love the countryside.
