I cut a young Roe deer free from a fence 3 weeks ago. Thought this was him at first but this one was much older and missing part of the rear left leg entirely. The one I cut free was caught up by the back right and there were no breaks. Close as I could on iPhone.

The friendly chicken farmer in the next parish has kindly increased his lumens worth another searchlight across the valley. I suppose I really don’t need any lighting on in my house at night now 😡

After a little email exchange with @gregmorris regarding his location feature in micro social, I was inspired to change from using the Title field to Categories for my map link. A lot simpler in the end - I’ve christened the theme Geotagory 🙃

Acorn growth (and Sloe) is huge this year, probably in response to the spring drought.

I am somewhat bemused. The Govt’s current BNG consultation in parallel with the call for evidence to the role of the private sector in nature recovery, appears to be both pulling and pushing the 30 by 30 initiative?! And all the while LPAs are way behind the legislation.

The strange thing about today was the lack of bird food eaten ~15%. There was the usual flurry of activity as I put it out with some brave great-tits zooming around me in anticipation, but thereafter nothing. Albeit a bit squally - maybe a Sparrowhawk was about.
