23rd November..... Field Vole.

Had an entertaining few minutes early this morning at the expense of a field vole. It climbed to the top of a 45 degree branch, harvest mouse style which finished 6 inches short of the bird table . It spent a while summing up the distance balanced on the very top of the branch. It decided to go for it, went back on it’s haunches and launched itself..... missed by about an inch and fell 5 foot into the under growth and out of sight. A pity, no camera at hand.

Yesterday a Little Egret was back in their winter quarters on The Chess at Chesham Moor, further down stream at Latimer two Cormorants sat in their usual trees.
