As the competition with Ian continues, I had a week where most of my submissions were wildlife taken one morning in the meadows. None of the images are particularly award winning. Or even remotely. But they tell a story of meadow life. The owl featured that morning but so did a fox - the first time I’d seen it there.

The owl was doing a lot of perching that morning - I think it was either tired after a long night of hunting or it had been successful and caught enough. This was a lovely shot of it taking off from a perch and different from other images I have caught this winter.
I have also been back on the farm to my favourite track. The hares are still using the crossing so I hope to achieve that elusive boxing shot here in the next couple of weeks. Here the hare is joined by a just-visible partridge in the bottom left of shot.
