Recently I've been busy preparing the site for the new school year and opening for business. In my trips around the site I've had some nice nature encounters and even managed to get a few pictures.
This week in the neighbouring meadow I heard some movement and manged to get within about 10 metres of this deer before it hopped effortlessly over the fence.
Whilst moving an unused fire pit I accidentally disturbed a little family of voles, this is a picture of the mother vole checking about the site, making sure that her littter of babies were back where she wanted them.
In July I smelt an awful smell and noticed lots of flies. Insteead of finding a rotting corpse I found this stinkhorn fungus.
