It was my day off today and as usual I headed down to the woods. Didn't get off as early as I'd have liked but you can't have everything.
I'm trying to get my eye in again at the wildlife watching. I'm remembering to go slow, stop alot and look but I'm having trouble emptying my mind. Things are still racing around my head when I should be passively observing, hohum, it'll take time I suppose.
I was stopping a fair bit to take pics for my Bison Guide shirt review but I did manage to get up on some stags. Pretty poor pics and not good light conditions but I got to about 30m before they spotted me, and in to about 15m before they started getting wary. Thats when I took the pics, then drifted away and left them in peace.
I wondered on and did a bit of path maintenance (cut a drain into a particularly muddy section of singletrack), gathered some wood and did a bit of spoon carving.
All in all a very pleasant way to while away the day .
