First of January and a century of birds, just a few incidental mammals.
10 or more Brown Hares around Greywell, showing well. One cluster of four seemed to be already thinking about mating. Well, its pretty mild at the moment, but they might get a shock soon!
Rabbit while dipping Red Kite.
Grey Squirrel sitting pretending to be cute on a fence post at Moor Green.
Brown Rat, a big, sleek, well-fed happy looking rodent raiding a grain bin to the consternation of a bunch of Red-legged Partridges. Think I prefer the rat - at least it hasn't done for the Grey Partridges across swathes of Britain.
I promised Marion no listing this year (obviously I can go for ticks) so the emphasis will be on photographing the ones I have no or poor shots of. That means Wildcat, Polecat, Lesser White-toothed Shrew, (Black Rat if I can afford the trip), Common Vole, Harvest Mouse (all no shot) and Weasel, Water Shrew, Mole (to be improved), among the terrestrials. I can already guess which is going to be the last to fall....
